HR 96 United States House · 119th Congress

Buzz Off Act

This bill prohibits federal law enforcement agencies from using drones to surveil specific U.S. citizens or their private property without the citizen's written consent. Exceptions allow drone use if the President authorizes it for terrorism threats (with written certification) or if a judge issues a warrant. It directly affects federal agencies like the FBI and protects U.S. citizens' privacy from unwarranted drone surveillance.
