The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5403, seeks to amend current statutes to prohibit state agencies and municipalities from purchasing or operating unmanned aircraft systems that are manufactured or assembled in the People's Republic of China or the Russian Federation. This legislative action is aimed at enhancing national security and reducing reliance on foreign adversaries in the context of unmanned aerial technology.

The bill introduces new legal language that explicitly bans the procurement and operation of these unmanned aircraft systems by state entities, thereby reinforcing a stance against potential security threats posed by foreign-made technology. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating that this is a new provision being added to the existing legal framework.
