Prohibits the hunting or taking of wildlife with the aid of an unmanned aerial vehicle

This bill (A 1109) prohibits hunting or taking wildlife using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). It directly affects hunters who might use drones to locate or pursue animals, making such activity illegal under New York's environmental conservation law. The key provision bans the use of drones for hunting, defining "unmanned aerial vehicle" as any aircraft operated without direct human control from within the device. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
