HR 4432 Passed in House – UAS Threat Assessment

Yesterday the House passed HR 4432, the Protecting Critical Infrastructure Against Drones and Emerging Threats Act by a voice vote. There was only about six minutes of ‘debate’ on the bill with no voices heard in opposition.

The language that disappeared between the Committee Hearing and the publication of the Report stayed gone. The reported language was the version that the House adopted.

If this bill is taken up in the Senate it will be considered under the Senate’s unanimous consent process. The major draw back to that process is that a single Senator could block consideration of the bill for reasons totally unrelated to the provisions being considered.
