HB 1807 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Authorizes law enforcement to intercept and disable unmanned aircraft that post credible threats to public safety

HB 1807 authorizes Missouri law enforcement to intercept or disable drones that pose credible threats to public safety. The bill specifically allows officers to use detection, tracking, and "mitigation measures" (like jamming or hacking) if there is reasonable suspicion the drone is being used illegally - such as for spying, smuggling, or directly endangering people. It applies to law enforcement agencies and directly affects drone operators who misuse their devices in a "nefarious manner" (illegal, dangerous, or harmful activity). The law requires officers to act only when a drone poses an imminent threat or violates state/federal law.
