A Resolution urging the Federal Government to provide State and local governments with the authority to respond swiftly and decisively to unidentified drone threats.
This resolution (HR 13) urges the federal government to grant state and local governments legal authority to respond to unidentified drone threats. It specifically addresses concerns raised by over 3,000 drone sightings near sensitive locations in New Jersey since November 2024, noting current federal rules prevent local authorities from acting swiftly. The resolution requests that the federal government amend regulations to empower states/localities and implement stronger transparency measures for drone incidents. It does not create new law but formally asks the federal government to change existing policies.
