The resolution urges the President of the United States and Congress to enact two specific pieces of legislation concerning unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as drones. It highlights the growing concern among New Jersey residents due to numerous sightings of drones over sensitive locations, including military installations and the residence of the President-elect, since November 2024. These incidents have raised alarms and prompted federal investigations, as the Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.) lacks the authority to delegate enforcement responsibilities to state or local law enforcement, leaving them limited in their ability to address the situation.

To address these concerns, the resolution calls for the advancement of Senate Bill No. 157, known as The Drone Act of 2023, which aims to establish a federal framework to criminalize the misuse of drones, and Senate Bill No. 896, referred to as The SHIELD U Act, which seeks to enhance counter-drone activities by various law enforcement agencies. The resolution emphasizes the need for federal action to ensure the safety and security of New Jersey residents and to provide law enforcement with the necessary tools to respond effectively to drone-related incidents. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key congressional leaders and representatives from New Jersey.
