AI Summary

  • Urges Congress and the Federal Aviation Administration to adopt laws and regulations that ban, regulate, or expressly authorize state and local governments to ban or regulate unmanned aircraft systems (drones) over private property.

  • Expresses concerns about the rapid growth of drone usage creating risks to people and property, including incidents of drones interfering with civil airliners and aerial firefighting operations.

  • Notes that unsafe, unauthorized, and unregulated drone flights over private property have raised serious concerns about safety, privacy, liability, and violation of property owners' rights.
