What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Coastal Drone Surveillance and Interdiction Assessment Act," directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct a specific study. The Secretary must assess how drone deployment can improve border security. This assessment is intended to help disrupt maritime or low-altitude drug smuggling along the United States coastline. The study must focus on major trafficking corridors and remote or hard-to-reach communities. The results must be submitted to specific committees in both the House and the Senate within 180 days.
