The resolution urges the Biden Administration to allocate federal resources and funding to assist New Jersey in addressing the increasing sightings of unidentified drones across the state. Since November 18, 2024, residents and officials have reported numerous drone sightings over sensitive locations, including military installations and critical infrastructure, raising concerns about potential threats. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) relies on state and local law enforcement to monitor and report suspicious activities in the airspace, but the volume of drone sightings has necessitated a significant response from these agencies, straining their resources.

In light of these circumstances, the New Jersey Legislature calls for federal support to ensure that state and local law enforcement can effectively respond to the ongoing drone phenomenon and any future threats. The resolution emphasizes the importance of protecting residents from potential risks associated with these unidentified drones and seeks to enhance the state's capacity to manage the situation through additional federal assistance. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress from New Jersey.
