SR 120 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges President and Congress to enact certain legislation regarding drones.

New Jersey's Senate Resolution SR 120 urges the President and Congress to enact two specific federal bills: S. 157 (The Drone Act of 2023), which would criminalize drone misuse, and S. 896 (The SHIELD U Act), which would expand law enforcement's authority to counter drones. This resolution follows recent drone sightings over sensitive New Jersey locations - including military bases, a major reservoir, and a residence of the President-elect - reportedly alarming residents and prompting federal investigations. The resolution does not create new laws but formally requests federal action to address gaps in drone regulation and enforcement. It directly targets the President and Congress as the intended recipients of this urging.
