Iowa SSB1191 prohibits the use of remotely piloted aircraft over farm property, with penalties for violations.

Iowa SSB1191 amends existing law to prohibit the use of remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) flying over farm property. The bill redefines "farmstead" to include at least 40 contiguous acres of real property used for farming, generating at least $15,000 from farm commodity sales annually. It establishes a secured area of 400 feet around certain farm property, excluding areas within city limits. The bill maintains existing protections for homesteads and secure farmstead areas, including the right to petition for injunctive relief against RPA use.
