Georgia Public Safety & State UAS Programs are at Risk Georgia’s public safety and state UAS programs face an immediate threat from short sited legislation. Multiple UAS-related bills have passed through the State House with zero opposition—moving quickly and quietly, only gaining broader industry awareness last week. •These bills advanced seemingly without public comment, denying public safety agencies and industry professionals the opportunity to address their impact. •The legislation is now with the Senate Rules Committee and the Senate Transportation Committee, where it could be voted on at any time. 📣 Action Needed •Share this information with public safety leaders, UAS professionals, and industry stakeholders. •Contact your legislators to ensure they understand the potential consequences of these bills. •Advocate for transparency, public input, and responsible policy-making that supports public safety operations. Now is the time to make your voices heard. Public safety and responsible UAS operations depend on it.
