Countering unpiloted aircraft systems.

HB 2462 authorizes Washington's governor to direct the state militia (National Guard) to counter drone threats to public safety and infrastructure. It requires the governor to create rules for militia training, drone detection/monitoring, and handling related equipment, and allows activating the militia to assist law enforcement when drones pose credible threats to people, critical infrastructure, or correctional facilities. The law specifically focuses on operational protocols for the militia's role in drone countermeasures, without altering existing drone regulations or imposing new restrictions on drone operators.
