In today's episode, we talk about the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) and their work on the "Tort Law relating to Drones Act". How will the passage of this law affect commercial drone business? Will this Tort Law increase the chances of drone pilots being sued? Will airspace be severely limited?

Vic joins Paul for this extremely important and animated episode. We decide to dive deep and discuss the contents of this proposed law and it’s far reaching implications. We share how the passage of this law will result in cities and states inhibiting drone operations. Fear of being sued will make commercial drone operations impossible.

So, what can we do to stop this bill? For starters, we strongly suggest you start following the ULC's work on this proposed bill. How? Please refer the below step-by-step instructions:

2. Click on "Sign up to follow this committee" to receive an email

3. Respond back by saying that you would like to follow the "Tort Law Relating to Drones" Committee

We also urge all UAS operators to go the extra mile and meet your area representative in a bid to block the passage of this bill. The entire community of drone pilots needs to get together and put in all efforts to block this regressive bill which threatens our livelihood and our passion. Tune in to learn more. Fly safe!
