In today’s episode, we talk about the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) and their work on the “Tort Law Relating to Drones Act.”

Vic joins Rob for this significant and animated discussion. ULC first proposed the "Tort Law Relating to Drones Act" in March of 2018. Back then, we analyzed this proposed Bill in great detail and revealed how the passage of this Bill would have severely restricted airspace, making commercial drone operations nearly impossible. Fortunately, this first draft was scrapped.

ULC just released their second draft after making some significant modifications to the first one. In this show, we pour over the fine print and reveal the pros & cons of this new proposed Bill. How does this Bill define an "aircraft intrusion"? And, what qualifies as a "land intrusion"? Would you be intruding on private land if you have to make an emergency landing? And, does this proposed bill attempt to curtail overly aggressive behavior from the landowner? You will also learn how this proposed bill treats “privacy violations” and “negligent behavior.”

The ULC is meeting in March to consider some important modifications to this proposed Bill. How can you contribute to this process? After going through the proposed bill, you can email your suggestions to info@uniformlaws.org. Please address your email to Paul Kurtz, Chair, Tort Law Relating to Drones Act Committee or Anita Ramasastry, President, ULC.
