Connecticut Bills Would Make Arming Drones A Felony

As written, both bills would make both of Haughwout’s armed drone uses illegal. here’s the text, as it appears identically in Raised Bill 148 “An Act Concerning The Weaponization Of Drones Based On A Program Review And Investigations Committee Study” and raised Bill 5274, “An Act Concerning The Use Of Drones”: Raised Bill 148 is currently being considered by the Program Review & Investigations Committee, and is sponsored by committee co-chair Rep. Christie Carpino. The other bill, Raised Bill 5274, sits before the Public Safety Committee. If either pass into law, using a weapon attached to a drone will become a felony.
