New York S03542 prohibits using unmanned aerial vehicles to aid in hunting wild animals.

New York S03542 amends the environmental conservation law to prohibit the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for searching, scouting, locating, hunting, detecting, or aiding in the taking of wild animals during hunting season. The bill defines "unmanned aerial vehicle" as any aircraft operated without direct human intervention. Exceptions allow for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles with infrared capabilities to recover a legally taken animal, but only if the operator does not enter another person's property or recover the animal from that property.
