REQUEST FOR INTERIM STUDY PROPOSAL
DATE: 5/31/13
BY REPRESENTATIVE(S):
Wesselhoft, Paul
TOPIC OF THE PROPOSAL:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Security
EXPLANATORY COMMENTS ON THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY PROPOSAL:
The purpose of this interim study is to examine privacy issues and concerns emanating from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's), also commonly referred to as drones. This study will focus on the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of current laws, including those laws found in Oklahoma statutes, the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma, rules adopted by Oklahoma Agencies and Commissions, the Constitution of the United States of America, and relevant case law interpreting these bodies of law. The study will also examine whether there is a need for legislation to address any identified shortcomings in the protection of privacy. Further, the study will address the issue of what impact, if any, privacy protections would have on the economic and public safety benefits that coincide with the growth of the UAV industry in Oklahoma and/or the deployment of drones. While the focus of the study will primarily be on the privacy concerns raised by the use of UAV's by state actors, the study will also consider privacy implications raised by the use of UAV's by the private sector and what privacy protections against private actors are afforded by existing laws.
