The bill would bar federal agencies from using certain large or military-designed drones in the United States to surveil people taking part in protests or civil disobedience. It would also require the President to report each year on certain drone uses, including novel uses or uses not authorized by Congress. Reports would describe the purpose, location, equipment, approval process, and any collection or sharing of information about people in the United States.
The bill would restrict the use of covered drones to surveil people at protests or during civil disobedience. It does not describe changes to other drone uses or explain how individuals could enforce the restriction.
The bill provides no cost estimate or specific spending amount. It would restrict the use of funds for the prohibited surveillance and require annual reports.
