Railroad Drone Amendments

The "Railroad Drone Amendments" bill aims to regulate the use of drones near railroad facilities to enhance safety and security. It proposes restrictions on drone operations close to railroads, mandates communication protocols between drone operators and railroad companies, and establishes penalties for violations. The bill seeks to prevent potential threats posed by unauthorized drones around railroad infrastructure and promote safe operations within the railway industry.
