Drone Integration and Zoning Act

The Drone Integration and Zoning Act clarifies drone regulations in the United States, focusing on airspace within 200 feet above ground level (the "immediate reaches of airspace"). It preserves state, local, and tribal authority over drone operations below 200 feet, requiring commercial drone operators to obtain property owner permission for operations in this zone while allowing reasonable restrictions on time, manner, and place of drone use. The bill establishes a process for designating "authorized commercial routes" for commercial drone operations above 200 feet and updates rules to permit states to issue intrastate authorizations for drone carriage of property. It also updates safety standards for small drones and ensures state regulations don't interfere with safe national airspace operations.
