Looks like us in florida have a new drone law to weed through.

Has anyone really reviewed it to see what it actually means.

This news article states:
Medical pot, drone and 5G wireless laws among 38 signed by Scott

"HB 1027 sets rules for umanned devices, including electrically powered personal delivery vehicles, which must weigh less than 80 pounds and have a maxium speed of 10 mph, and and unmanned aircrafts, such as drones.

Under the new law, local governments cannot enact laws relating to the manufacture, testing, licensing or operation of a drone including airspace, altitude, flight paths, equipment or technology requirements; the purpose of operations; and pilot, operator, or observer qualifications. However, local governments can enact or enforce local laws relating to nuisances, voyeurism, harassment, reckless endangerment, property damage, and other illegal acts involving drones.

The law also prohibits a person from knowingly or willfully operating a drove over critical infrastructure including power plants and transmission stations, chemical plants and communications facilities."
