Prohibits operation of drone in manner that interferes with airports or military.
This bill (S 4007) prohibits operating drones in ways that interfere with airport operations or military activities in New Jersey. It makes it a fourth-degree crime (punishable by up to 18 months in jail or a $10,000 fine) for anyone knowingly to operate a drone that disrupts airport functions or military operations. The law specifically defines "military" to include all U.S. armed forces, National Guard, and merchant marine under federal law. This directly affects drone operators near airports or military sites, adding clear criminal penalties for intentional interference beyond existing rules. The bill amends existing law (P.L.2017, c.315) to include these specific prohibitions.
