Drones
Drones can be a valuable tool for farmers managing their operations and there are many technological developments occurring on a regular basis. CFBF seeks a balance between access to drones for agricultural purposes and privacy and trespass protection on private lands. We want to see notification and consent of landowners prior to drones flying above private property.
There has not been significant federal action to address concerns raised regarding the proliferation of drones used for numerous purposes. Due to that fact, the California Legislature introduced numerous bills on the topic during the 2016 Legislative Session. These bills are:
- AB 1662 (Chau) Unmanned aircraft systems: accident reporting – VETOED
- AB 1724 (Waldron) Unmanned aircraft: identification requirements – FAILED PASSAGE
- AB 2148 (Holden) Unmanned aircraft systems: regulation – VETOED
- AB 2320 (Calderon) Unmanned aircraft systems – VETOED
- AB 2724 (Gatto) Unmanned aircraft – VETOED
- SB 807 (Gaines) Unmanned aircraft systems – Takes effect January 1, 2017
- SB 808 (Gaines) Protective orders: unmanned aircraft systems
– FAILED PASSAGE - SB 809 (Gaines) Unmanned aircraft systems – FAILED PASSAGE
- SB 810 (Gaines) Unmanned aircraft: fire interference – FAILED PASSAGE
