AUVSI State Advocacy Mid-Session Report: Air Domain

We are now three months into 2023 and have reached the halfway point of most state legislative sessions. Coming into this year, AUVSI revamped its state strategy, moving to a more proactive approach, actively engaging at a more frequent and effective level, and showing high value to our members as well as strong leadership in the state advocacy space. In December of 2022, we launched our 50-state drone-focused educational initiative, Drone Prepared. Since launch, we have reached out to legislators in all 50 states, held dozens of meetings with key stakeholders, gotten multiple variations of our language introduced, passed our model bill into law, and promoted our work through podcasts, articles, and social media.

2023 End of State Sessions Report: Mississippi

Mississippi had an active and engaged 2023 legislative session. Due to the interest from the legislature, strong work of the research institutions, and the friendly environment that the State has shown for innovative technology, AUVSI targeted Mississippi from the beginning for our educational Drone Prepared campaign. The state was receptive and encouraging to work with, and within three months Drone Prepared was law. In every way, from legislation to engagement, the Mississippi legislature went above and beyond this year.
