The October 1 stage of Connecticut's drone act reaches contractors and any purchase made with state or federal money, while the state's 250 foot critical infrastructure rule has been in force for a year.
A multistate petition filed September 28 targets the single environmental document that now stands in for site-by-site review of drone package delivery. Operators should read the noise data clause and start keeping per-site records.
