TO CREATE THE OFFENSE OF MANUFACTURING, MODIFYING, SELLING, TRANSFERRING, OR OPERATING A ROBOTIC DEVICE OR AN UNCREWED AIRCRAFT THAT IS EQUIPPED OR MOUNTED WITH A WEAPON.

House Bill 1504 aimed to create new offenses related to robotic devices and uncrewed aircraft. The bill would have made it unlawful to manufacture, modify, sell, transfer, or operate a robotic device or uncrewed aircraft (drone) equipped or mounted with a weapon. Additionally, it sought to prohibit knowingly modifying the programming of a robotic device with the purpose of harming a human being or property. These provisions would have directly affected individuals involved in such activities.
