A bill for an act relating to certain activities associated with foreign entities in the state, providing penalties, and making penalties applicable.

HF 2646 restricts state agencies and local governments from purchasing, leasing, or operating drones made by companies on a federal "covered list" (e.g., certain foreign manufacturers), requiring replacement with drones on a federal "blue list" and auditing their security protocols. It creates a class D felony for flying foreign-made drones within 400 feet of critical infrastructure like power plants or national guard facilities. The bill also mandates foreign entities lobbying in Iowa to register within 48 hours and file detailed records of their activities, with daily civil penalties for non-compliance. Finally, it prohibits using state tax funds to enforce international agreements (like UN or WHO guidelines) unless formally adopted by Iowa’s legislature, affirming state sovereignty over public health and safety policies.
