Bad drone legislation in the US

[journo]

Attention US drone owners (r/c too!).

Utah's Senator Lee is at it again with his "Drone Integration and Zoning Act" bill.

DSP Alliance and other organizations were informed of this yesterday. Kenji and I are working with some other organizations to put together a unified approach to make sure this bill doesn't become law once it's submitted.

Stay tuned.

I'd like to add photojournalists to the list of those doing professional drone work in both unrestricted airspace from surface to 400 feet, as well as restricted airspace with FAA permission.
