00 2023-01-11 Introduced in House 2023-01-23T19:49:21Z <p><strong>Commercial Remote Sensing Amendment Act of 2023</strong></p> <p>This bill modifies provisions relating to the licensing of private remote sensing space systems.

Additionally, the report must include all terms, conditions, or restrictions placed on licensees.</p> <p>The bill also extends the requirement for annual reports from September 30, 2020, to September 30, 2030.</p>
