Idaho H0499 establishes rules for unmanned aircraft systems near Department of Correction facilities.

Idaho H0499 amends existing law to establish provisions regarding unmanned aircraft systems near Department of Correction facilities. The bill defines terms such as "mitigation measures" and "nefarious manner," and mandates that the Department of Correction post notices on roads near correctional facilities that the area is a "Drone No Fly Zone." The use of an unmanned aircraft system within the proximity of the restricted airspace of a correctional facility is unlawful.
