Assessing Drone Use for Coastal Border Security and Drug Smuggling Disruption.

This law requires the Department of Homeland Security to conduct an assessment on how drones can effectively enhance border security and disrupt drug smuggling along the U.S. coastline, particularly focusing on maritime and low-altitude routes. While it doesn't deploy drones immediately, the goal is to improve public safety and security in coastal and remote communities through better surveillance planning. Citizens may see increased technological surveillance along the coast in the future.
