drones as emergency responders

 Illinois Governor has signed the state’s Drones as First Responders Act, HB 3902 (2023 | IL) . It will allow drones to be used at events that are outdoors, open to the public, and hosted by the state, a county, a municipality, a township, or a park district for real-time monitoring and threat detection during outdoor events. It also allows drones to be used for infrastructure inspections, public relations events such as taking a photo of a local organization, and to assist with public safety response, such as locating victims or fleeing suspects.
