Recreational Drone Empowerment Act

Summary

Amends the federal recreational unmanned aircraft law (49 U.S.C. § 44809) by changing the heading and inserting additional text into subsection (c)(2)(C). One section only provides the Act's short title; the substantive change is an amendment to the statutory text for recreational drone operations. The exact inserted language is not provided in the materials, so the practical effects and compliance obligations cannot be fully determined from the text available.

• Section 1 sets only the Act's short title and creates no new duties or funding.
• Section 2 amends the recreational drone statute (49 U.S.C. § 44809(c)(2)(C)) by changing a heading and inserting additional text.
• The materials provided do not include the actual inserted language, so the substantive impact is indeterminate.
• No new appropriations, authorization of spending, or emergency designations are included in the described sections.
• Possible affected parties include recreational drone users, manufacturers/retailers, the FAA, and law enforcement, depending on the missing language.
• Implementation actions (rulemaking, guidance, enforcement changes) would depend on the content of the inserted text.
• Because this is a targeted statutory edit, the bill is structurally simple but its practical effects hinge on the omitted wording.
