ACR 74 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges federal government to develop protocols for State and local law enforcement to respond to drones.

ACR 74 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging the federal government to develop protocols allowing state and local law enforcement to independently investigate and respond to drone threats. It was prompted by recent drone sightings over sensitive locations like military bases, a reservoir, and the president-elect's residence, where current federal law limits local police authority. The resolution requests the FAA and Transportation Department create clear guidelines for law enforcement to address these aerial security concerns. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new law but formally asks federal agencies to act.
