Ban most use of drones by state and local agencies

On January 9, 2013, Ben Cline introduced HB 2012 in the Virginia House of Representatives, a bill which limited state and local law enforcement agencies' use of unmanned drone aircraft. Cline's bill banned all use of drones by state and local agencies except for Amber Alerts and search and rescue operations until May 1, 2015. HB 2012 became the first bill of its kind nationwide to be passed when the General Assembly approved it 83-16 on February 5, 2013. The Senate bill, Senator Donald McEachin's SB 1331, also passed on February 5. Governor Bob McDonnell (R) proposed amendments to the moratorium that would create more openings for law enforcement use and industry research and production. The bill passed with McDonnell's amendments. [Rep. Cox voted YES on Apr/3/13 House vote].
