New FAA Drone Rules Reject Federal Preemption of State and Local Drone Laws

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) yesterday announced its long awaited final rules for small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones. These rules represent a significant victory for public safety. In this action the FAA has unequivocally announced its rejection of pre-emption of state and local ordinances in the area of drone regulation. The FAA acknowledged the important role of state and local regulation, stating “certain legal aspects concerning small UAS use may be best addressed at the state or local level.”
