AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow the Capitol Police Board, and Capitol Police staff it authorizes, to act against drones that pose a credible threat to the Capitol buildings, grounds, and certain related areas. Allowed actions include tracking drones, intercepting their control signals, warning operators, taking control of drones, seizing them, and using reasonable force to disable or destroy them. Seized drones could be forfeited to the United States. Rules would limit how drone communications are collected, kept (generally no more than 180 days), and shared, and the Capitol Police would report to Congress every 6 months on these activities.
