The proposed legislation enacts new provisions regarding the unlawful use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in Louisiana, specifically addressing their use at parades. It introduces definitions for "mitigation measures" and "nefarious manner," which outline actions taken to neutralize UAS threats and the illegal purposes for which UAS may be used, respectively. The bill establishes that law enforcement may take necessary actions against UAS operating in a nefarious manner, including detection, tracking, and interception, provided there is reasonable suspicion of criminal activity or imminent threat to public safety.

Additionally, the bill creates the specific crime of unlawful use of an unmanned aircraft system at a parade, defining a parade and its route, and stipulating penalties for violations, including fines and imprisonment. It mandates the posting of "Drone No Fly Zone" notices along parade routes and clarifies that ignorance of the law is not a valid defense. Exceptions are made for UAS used in authorized film productions. The act is titled the "We Will Act" Act and includes provisions for the Louisiana State Law Institute to update relevant legal definitions and references.
