SB 766 went into effect yesterday:
This Bill prohibits the use of aerial drones to capture images that could infringe on the privacy of property owners or occupants. This does NOT include agencies countering the risk of terrorist attacks, police who obtain search warrants, property appraisers making tax assessments and utilities maintaining their facilities.
The law allows people to initiate a civil action against a person, state agency or political subdivision that violates the prohibitions.
