    Gallagher Introduces Bill to Strengthen Drone Safety as Airspace Risks Rise

    Congressman James Gallagher (CA-01) and Congresswoman Dina Titus (NV-01) together introduced H.R. 10304, the Drone Safety Statement Modernization Act, legislation to make sure drone operators know the rules before they take off.

    “When a wildfire is burning, our firefighters should be focused on putting it out, not worrying about a drone getting in their flight path. We’ve already seen aerial firefighting operations delayed or grounded because drones were in the airspace over the Dixie and Palisades Fires.”
