Aeronautics: unmanned aircraft systems; adoption of an official no drone zone sign for use in this state; provide for. Amends 2016 PA 436 (MCL 259.301 - 259.331) by adding sec. 29.
HB 5324 standardizes "No Drone Zone" signage across Michigan by requiring the state Department of Transportation to adopt a sign based on the FAA's existing design. The sign must display "No Drone Zone" at the top, include a drone image with a red circle slash, state that drone takeoffs/landings are prohibited, and leave space for the specific local ordinance or law enforcing the restriction. This bill directly affects property owners, businesses, and local governments that currently post drone restrictions, providing a uniform format to clarify existing local drone prohibitions without creating new restrictions. The Department of Transportation will publish guidance for using the sign, which must align with current local rules governing drone operations.
