Establishes a council to develop a statewide strategy for airspace awareness and safety.

Michigan SB1164 creates an airspace awareness coordinating council within the Department of State Police to develop a statewide strategy for managing unmanned aircraft systems. The strategy prioritizes aviation safety, emergency response, and critical infrastructure protection. The council will identify risks, recommend policies, and support coordination among state agencies, local governments, and federal partners. The Department of State Police, in coordination with other state departments, will develop and maintain the strategy, which must be updated every two years.
