Massachusetts S2308 regulates the use of drones within the state, setting limits on altitude, weight, and operation within restricted airspaces.

Massachusetts S2308 amends Chapter 90 of the General Laws to introduce regulations on the use of drones, or unmanned aircraft operated remotely without direct human intervention. The bill defines "drone" and "restricted space," which includes airspace within five miles of an airport or as designated by law. It prohibits drone operation over 400 feet, weighing more than ten pounds, without visual line of sight, within restricted airspaces, in a reckless manner, or with intent to harass. This legislation aims to ensure safe and responsible drone use in the Commonwealth.
