This bill amends the federal criminal code to make it a crime to knowingly operate a drone in a restricted area. A "restricted area" is an area that is:

  • within a two-mile radius of a hub airport or an ongoing firefighting operation, or
  • subject to a temporary flight restriction issued by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The prohibition does not apply to government operations in response to a fire or emergency.

Violators are subject to fines, up to one year in prison, or both.
