UNLESS YOU HELP, SB 3 MAY GROUND YOUR DRONE PROGRAMS!
Section 4 of SB 3 which is now in front of the Connecticut Senate will prohibit Connecticut agencies from buying and flying purchasing Chinese-made drones (including DJI and Autel).
CT MUTS members have worked very hard on our behalf but we need YOUR help!
Six CT MUTS members testified in opposition before the Senate General Law Committee on February 29, 2024 - please take the time to listen to what they had to say so you understand our points:
