Municipal leaders at the Town of Paradise Valley and the city of Scottsdale say SB 1449 has stripped them of their ability to regulate unmanned aircraft flying above their jurisdictions — at least for the time being.
But officials at both municipalities say they are continuing to look at the new legislation signed into law on May 11 by Gov. Doug Ducey and expected to go into effect this August. They are looking to see what, if any, local provisions cold be developed to quell fears of privacy and public safety.
