1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Recreational Drone Empowerment Act .
2: Clarifying recreational operations of drone systems
This section would amend section 44809(c)(2)(C) of title 49, United States Code, in two ways: it would add the words "and Class E" to that provision's heading (which currently reads "Uncontrolled"), and it would insert the phrase ", Class E airspace above Class G airspace, or a Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E surface area" into the provision's text right after the existing words "Class G airspace." Both edits only insert new words into an existing rule about airspace categories. Stating what the resulting rule requires or permits for recreational drone operators needs the full base text of 49 U.S.C. 44809(c)(2)(C), which is not part of this bill and is not provided here.
