The bill lets Capitol Police detect, jam, seize, or destroy drones deemed credible security threats near the Capitol.
40-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill grants USCP legal exceptions to normally-illegal actions like intercepting signals or disabling equipment, so it can detect, track, warn, jam, seize, or destroy drones judged a credible security threat to the Capitol. Confiscated drones become permanent government property.
Drone operators flying near the Capitol face possible tracking, disruption, or destruction of their devices; Capitol Police gain expanded enforcement authority; the Department of Transportation and FAA must coordinate to protect broader air traffic safety.
The powers raise potential risks for drone operators' property and privacy, though the bill requires deletion of intercepted communications within 180 days and limits on data sharing. Regular reports to Congress will track harms, privacy issues, and coordination with other agencies.
