Trespass by small unmanned aircraft.
This Wyoming bill (SF 34) creates a new criminal offense for flying small drones over private property in a way that significantly disrupts a landowner's use or enjoyment of their land. It defines "small unmanned aircraft" using federal aviation rules from 2022 and applies directly to drone operators and property owners. Violators face penalties of up to $750 in fines, six months in jail, or both. The law establishes a clear legal standard for drone-related trespass on private property.
