AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would set up a federal process for state law enforcement agencies to apply for permission to buy, use, and train with equipment that can detect, take control of, or disable drones that pose threats. Approved agencies could track drones, intercept their control signals, seize them, or use reasonable force to disable or destroy them, and would have to report to federal officials within 24 hours after each use. The bill would create a database so law enforcement agencies can check whether a drone belongs to another agency, and a federal grant program to help state law enforcement buy counter-drone equipment. It would also require the Department of Defense Inspector General to report to Congress within 90 days on drone activity near military and national security sites.
