H.R. 1907 — Defense Against Drones Act of 2025

This section establishes a new section 44815 in chapter 448 of title 49, U.S. Code, authorizing an individual—subject to applicable state law on firearm discharge—to shoot an unmanned aircraft using a legally obtained shotgun if the individual reasonably believes the aircraft is flying not more than 200 feet above property owned by the individual. The section further permits but does not require return of the aircraft to its owner upon request; requires the individual to report the incident address and aircraft registration number to the FAA Administrator within 60 days if the registration number is identified; directs the FAA Administrator to issue implementing regulations; defines "shotgun" by reference to 18 U.S.C. §921; and states that the section does not preempt state laws on tort or criminal liability for such actions.
