| Senate Bill 6 makes it unlawful for any person to intentionally use an unmanned aircraft
system to deliver to an inmate weapons, liquor, drugs, telecommunications devices, or tobacco products without
the authorization of the warden or superintendent or his or her designee.
The bill also prohibits the intentional photographing or otherwise recorded images of a place of incarceration
through the use of the unmanned aircraft system. There is a provision that allows a person to obtain the
warden's or superintendent's authorization for photographing or recording as evidence of a noncriminal intent;
however, the failure to receive the prior authorization does not suffice as evidence of a criminal intent.
Persons who commit or attempt to commit a violation of this provision are guilty of a felony. Upon a conviction
for attempting to deliver or for delivering contraband, the person is sentenced to imprisonment for not less than
one nor more than 10 years. A conviction of a violation of the photography provision results in a sentence of
imprisonment for not less than one but no more than five years.
