Requires liability insurance for the operation of unmanned aircraft
HB 1225 requires private drone owners in this state to carry liability insurance for personal drone operations. The law mandates minimum coverage of $25,000 per person for bodily injury or death, $50,000 for multiple people in one incident, and $25,000 for property damage. It directly affects individuals who operate drones for personal use within the state, not commercial operators. This policy change ensures financial responsibility for drone-related accidents by setting clear insurance standards.
