The 136th General Assembly of Ohio has passed a concurrent resolution urging the United States Congress to support H.R. 1907, known as the Defense Against Drones Act of 2025. This resolution highlights the rapid increase in the use of drones for various purposes and raises concerns about privacy, national security, and property rights, particularly in light of recent incidents involving suspicious drone activity over private properties in Ohio. The resolution emphasizes that homeowners have a reasonable expectation of privacy and safety, and that the intrusion of drones into their airspace constitutes a violation of these rights.

The proposed Defense Against Drones Act of 2025 would allow property owners to legally shoot down drones that fly up to 200 feet above their property using a legally obtained shotgun, thereby reinforcing their privacy and property rights. The resolution calls for the passage of this act to protect homeowners' rights and safety, while also addressing the challenges posed by foreign-manufactured drones. The Ohio General Assembly intends to communicate this resolution to various federal officials and the media to advocate for the protection of homeowners across the United States.
