Abstract:The Division of Aeronautics (DOA) has been working toward a robust Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Program that could benefit both state agencies and commercial partners/operators. Over the past few years, the DOA office has been working with Utah Lawmakers to develop a regulatory framework. A Statewide Drone Registration is part of the framework. Drone registrations will help support not only ministerial objectives but help support financial needs for infrastructure. Utah Lawmakers passed a drone registration bill in SB-24 of the 2023 Legislative Session. This bill gives the DOA authority to create rules for drone registration, collect registration fees, and manage the registration process. In January 2024 the DOA staff and UDOTs legislative analyst provided a draft of rules for public commenting and several comments and concerns on the first draft of the rules was received. Utah Lawmakers passed a bill—SB-135 of the 2024 Legislative Session—that pushed back the start date to collect drone registrations to January 1, 2025. This research performed outreach to the key stakeholders providing comment on the first set of draft rules. Based on input received during the outreach a new draft rule has been prepared and reviewed by a technical committee convened by UDOT’s Aeronautics Division. This research topic is important to UDOT and Utah Lawmakers in that the DOA office is looking to expand their knowledge of this topic. It is also a priority for the Utah Legislature.
