The resolution expresses support for the public safety autonomous technologies research, testing, certification, and commercialization program proposed by the United States Department of Commerce. This program aims to foster innovation in small uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) within Kansas, addressing the urgent need for affordable UAS solutions that are free from foreign adversarial influences. The resolution highlights the necessity of developing UAS capabilities in the U.S. to counter the dominance of Chinese company DJI, which currently holds over 90% of the commercial and public safety drone markets.

Additionally, the resolution endorses the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2025, which includes provisions to prohibit the acquisition and operation of DJI drones by the U.S. federal government and grant recipients. It also supports a requirement for the Department of Defense to assess the risks posed by DJI drones and potentially ban their use in the U.S. This urgency is emphasized for state and local public safety agencies to collaborate with industries and universities to develop effective and affordable UAS solutions. The resolution concludes with a directive for the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Representative Kristey Williams.
