Establishes the offense of unlawful use of unmanned aircraft over a crime scene, critical incident, law enforcement tactical operation, or hazardous material site

HB 1101 makes it a class A misdemeanor to operate a drone (unmanned aircraft) within 400 feet vertically or 500 feet horizontally of a crime scene, critical incident, law enforcement tactical operation, or hazardous material site, or to allow a drone to touch such a location. The law directly affects drone operators near these sensitive areas, including bystanders or unauthorized users, while exempting law enforcement, emergency responders, utility workers with proper notice, and those with FAA waivers. Key provisions define "critical incident" (e.g., natural disasters, civil unrest) and "hazardous material site" (locations with dangerous substances), and specify prohibited actions without requiring proof of intent beyond purposeful operation. The bill does not apply to authorized personnel or activities like utility inspections under specific conditions.
