(The Center Square) – Protections so emergency responders can respond to crises are being sought in federal drone regulations by multiple attorneys general, including North Carolina’s first-term Democrat Jeff Jackson.

Specifically, Jackson and other state prosecutors have asked the Federal Aviation Administration through Liam McKenna and Michelle Ferritto to give additional clarity to a May designation on restriction of unmanned aircraft in close proximity to a fixed site facility. Jackson and others don’t believe first responders have clearance to respond to emergencies using drones at certain sites without first getting FAA approval.
