Drone regulation: A changing skyscape

Drone

The Federal Aviation Administration estimates there will be 4.3 million hobbyist drones in use by 2020. As the use of drones increases across the United States, discussion of the legal issues surrounding consumer drone use is becoming more salient. Drones, also known as unmanned aircraft systems, have sparked legislation about privacy, public safety, and pre-emption at both the federal and state levels.

New at the library this month is a book which includes state-by-state comparisons of state laws about drones - Drones Across America: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Regulation and State Laws by Dr. Sarah Nilsson. As more Minnesotans purchase or build their own drones, questions arise. An article in the Star Tribune recently focused on questions such as “Can I fly my drone in a state park?”

Minnesota municipal governments are also grappling with questions about drone use and cities’ authority to regulate. Another new addition to the Library’s collection is the League of Minnesota Cities’ 2018 report: Drones: Municipal Use and Regulation.

Drones Across America: Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Regulation and State Laws and Drones: Municipal Use and Regulation are available at the Legislative Reference Library. Contact a librarian at 651-296-8338 or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn if you’d like to check them out.
