House Bill No. 155, introduced by Representative McMakin, amends R.S. 14:337(A)(1)(b) to enhance regulations regarding the unlawful use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The bill specifies that the intentional use of a UAS is prohibited without the express written consent of the person in charge of certain designated locations. The bill adds several specific areas to the list of prohibited locations, including the grounds of the state capitol, the Capitol Annex Building, Capitol Gardens, the Louisiana Pentagon Barracks, Veteran's Memorial Park, the waters and banks of Capitol Lake, A.Z. Young Park, the Claiborne Building, and associated parking areas.

The proposed law retains existing provisions regarding unlawful UAS use while expanding the list of locations where such use is prohibited. This includes detailed descriptions of the boundaries for each newly added location, ensuring clarity on where the use of unmanned aircraft systems is restricted. The bill aims to enhance security and privacy in these sensitive areas by preventing unauthorized aerial surveillance or activities.
