| To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2724 without my signature. This bill mandates that drone hobbyists be covered by adequate liability insurance when operating drones and requires drone manufacturers to install "geo-fencing" software on drones that are equipped with global positioning satellite technology. This bill creates significant regulatory confusion by creating a patchwork of federal, state, and local restrictions on airspace. Moreover, the Federal Aviation Administration will likely assert federal preemption on the bill's "geo-fencing" requirements. I believe it's more prudent to explore a more comprehensive approach that takes into account federal regulations on this subject. Piecemeal is not the way to go. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr. |
