What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits local governmental units and state agencies from acquiring

or, beginning one year after the effective date of the bill, possessing or using drones

manufactured or distributed by SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd.; a subsidiary of, or

successor to, SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd.; or any entity that is determined by the U.S.

Department of Justice to be subject to or vulnerable to extrajudicial direction from

a foreign government. The bill also requires local governmental units and state

agencies to report to the Wisconsin Department of Justice their possession, use, and

plan for disposal of these drones. WDOJ must then summarize these reports and

provide the summary to the legislature.
