US HB3334

Capitol Police Board gains authority to detect, track, intercept communications from, disrupt, seize, and destroy unmanned aircraft systems (drones) posing credible threats to Capitol buildings and grounds

Actions must be coordinated with the Secretary of Transportation and FAA Administrator when affecting aviation safety, civilian operations, or airspace use

Privacy protections require drone communications be intercepted only as necessary, records retained no more than 180 days unless needed for investigation or prosecution, and disclosures limited to law enforcement and regulatory purposes

Capitol Police Board must submit reports to Congress every 6 months detailing actions taken, impacts on airspace, privacy procedures, and any harm to persons or property

Seized drones are subject to forfeiture to the United States, and the bill overrides certain federal wiretapping and computer fraud statutes to enable these counter-drone activities
