New Jersey Passes UAV Penalty Bill
Prohibits operating a drone in a manner that could endanger life/property, while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or for taking of wildlife.

New Jersey's state assembly unanimously approved legislation last week that provides for new fines and prison terms for those convicted of unsafe/prohibited operation of UAVs. Assembly Bill 5205 would provide for jail terms up to six months and fines to $1,000 for anyone convicted of operating a drone in a manner that could endanger life/property, while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or for the purpose of taking or assisting in the taking of wildlife.
