Establishes the "Unmanned Aerial Systems Security Act of 2025"
HB 210, the "Unmanned Aerial Systems Security Act of 2025," regulates drone use by Missouri government agencies to protect critical infrastructure. It prohibits agencies from purchasing or using drones manufactured in "countries of concern" (including China, Russia, Iran, and others) or by entities controlled by those nations. The bill establishes a tiered system: Tier 1 drones (no data collection) are permitted, Tier 2 drones (limited flight data only) require security checks, and Tier 3 drones (full data collection) face strict restrictions. It also mandates geofencing of sensitive locations like power plants and military sites to prevent unauthorized drone access.
