Florida recently passed a new drone law, which is the second one in my home state. The first drone law, passed in 2013, blocked most state agencies from flying an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), better known as a drone, for any purpose, even basic research.
No one was targeting the commercial drone industry in 2013. The consequences of the law came from a lack of awareness about the ways drone technology can change the world.
The 2015 law signed by the governor on May 14 is quite different, however. Its provisions directly impact commercial operations, but its full consequences are unclear at the moment. We can only begin to guess what they might be.
