Restricting state drone purchases

More states want to limit the type of technology a government can buy. One version of this legislation is limiting purchases of drones made by companies owned by interests in certain counties. Want to guess the countries? If you said, China, you are today’s winner. Congratulations!

In Michigan this looks like House Bill 5331. This bill helps set up the ban on state agencies purchasing and operating drones from companies listed as concerns by the federal government. In short hand- no state funds for Chinese drones. Kansas has already passed something similar.
