Urges federal government to develop protocols for State and local law enforcement to respond to drones.
ACR 148 is a concurrent resolution urging federal agencies to create clear guidelines for state and local law enforcement to address drone threats. It specifically requests the Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Transportation develop protocols allowing police to independently investigate and respond to unidentified drones near sensitive locations like military bases and water reservoirs. The resolution responds to recent drone sightings over sites including New Jersey's Picatinny Arsenal and Trump National Golf Club, which current federal law prevents local authorities from addressing directly. It does not create new state authority but asks the federal government to expand existing frameworks. This resolution has no legal effect but formally requests federal action to enhance public safety coordination.
