S 4792 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Countering CCP Drones and Supporting Drones for Law Enforcement Act

This bill restricts federal agencies from using federal funds to purchase or lease drones made by DJI Technologies and Autel Robotics by adding them to a list of prohibited equipment. It also creates a $15 million grant program for state and local law enforcement agencies to buy secure drones not made by these companies or other "foreign entities of concern," with federal funding covering up to 75% of costs. The program requires drones to meet security standards, safeguard civil liberties, and avoid critical components from restricted foreign entities. Grants are available for two years or until funds are exhausted, ending fiscal year 2025.
