The proposed bill establishes the "Airspace Awareness Coordinating Council" in Michigan, aimed at enhancing airspace safety and management, particularly concerning unmanned aircraft systems. The bill mandates the development of a statewide airspace awareness strategy by the Department of State Police, in collaboration with various state departments and agencies. This strategy will outline a coordinated framework for airspace planning, response, and recovery, delineate roles among stakeholders, prioritize safety in various contexts, and ensure compliance with federal laws. The initial strategy must be submitted to the legislature within 12 months of the bill's enactment.

The council will consist of appointed members from key state departments, law enforcement, and representatives from relevant organizations, including the Michigan Drone Association. It will meet quarterly to advise on the strategy's development, identify risks, recommend policies, and support interagency coordination during airspace incidents. The council's operations will adhere to open meeting laws and transparency requirements, ensuring accountability and public access to its activities. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for the council to invite participation from federal agencies and other stakeholders as nonvoting advisors.
