This bill prohibits public entities in New Jersey, including the State, municipalities, counties, and various governmental agencies, from using small, unmanned aircraft systems that are made in foreign countries. The legislation defines "foreign-made" as any unmanned aircraft system where the cost of component parts manufactured in a foreign country exceeds 25 percent of the total cost of all components. Additionally, it clarifies that a "foreign country" refers to any nation outside of the United States, including its subdivisions and territories.

The bill aims to ensure that public entities utilize domestically produced unmanned aircraft systems, thereby potentially enhancing national security and supporting local manufacturing. It is set to take effect six months after its enactment, although state agencies are permitted to take necessary administrative actions in advance to facilitate its implementation.
