HD 3061 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act regulating drones

This bill prohibits Chinese state-owned companies from selling or distributing drones in Massachusetts. It directly affects Chinese state-owned drone manufacturers and sellers by banning their commercial activity within the state. The key provision explicitly bans sales/distribution of drones by any entity owned or affiliated with the Chinese government, defined as "Chinese state-owned company" in the bill. The law applies to drones under 55 pounds that operate autonomously or remotely without human pilots on board. This is a targeted restriction on specific foreign entities, not a broad drone regulation.
