An act relating to regulating drones above privately owned real property

This bill establishes new rules for drone operations over private property in Vermont, primarily affecting hobbyist drone pilots and drone retailers. It prohibits flying drones below 100 feet above private land without the owner's written consent and bans recording images of people or property in violation of reasonable privacy expectations without consent. The legislation also requires drone sellers to inform buyers about these privacy requirements and assigns the Judicial Bureau authority to enforce violations with civil penalties of up to $50 for first offenses and $250 for subsequent ones.
