  • March 14, 2016 Senator David G. Argall, Chairman Senate Majority
    March 14, 2016 Senator David G. Argall, Chairman Senate Majority Policy Committee Senate Box 203029 State Capitol Building Harrisburg, PA 17120 Re: Public Hearing on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Dear Sen. Argall: On behalf of our more than 7,500 members, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) would like to highlight the positive societal and economic benefits of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technology. AUVSI is the world’s largest non-profit organization devoted exclusively to advancing unmanned systems. It is clear that, once a federal regulatory framework is established, a burgeoning UAS market is waiting to be unleashed in Pennsylvania. According to an AUVSI study, during the first 10 years after UAS are integrated into the national airspace, nearly 3,000 jobs are forecasted to be created in Pennsylvania along with over $2.36 billion in economic impact. In fact, since the FAA announced it would grant exemptions for certain low-risk commercial UAS operations in May 2014, more than three dozen Pennsylvania businesses have already received permission to use unmanned aircraft for a variety of applications. For example, Agscan, based in Broomall, received a commercial exemption to examine the condition of crops across the state. Joshua Brown, a Navy veteran and an expert in search and rescue, founded the company in 2014 and uses UAS to assess an acre of crops each minute, detecting abnormalities that are not always visible to the human eye. Using aerial data the UAS collects, AgScan can quickly identify crops that need attention for irrigation or insect problems. Another example is Pittsburgh-based Identified Technologies, which has built its business around collecting visual, infrared and gas data with UAS.

Attention Local Officials: Please reach out to your Senators and members of the Senate Transportation Committee where Senate Bill 607 awaits a vote - and express your support! Senate Bill 607 (PN 675) authorizes the use of radar and LIDAR for all municipal police. This proposal is supported by the Radar Coalition, which includes The League and PSATC. Please consider adopting a resolution supporting local use of radar in your municipality. We are providing a sample resolution on our website. If you have adopted a resolution in past sessions, it should be updated. In addition, we are providing a sample press release to use after adopting a resolution to let your residents know that municipal radar is a priority in your community and to encourage them to advocate for the passage of Senate Bill 607, too. Three other proposals have been introduced this session, which include provisions that authorize the restricted use of radar, they are: House Bill 74 (PN 78), introduced by Representative Greg Rothman; House Bill 352 (PN 328), introduced by Representative Bill Kortz; and House Bill 1275 (PN 1483), introduced by Representative Kurt Masser. The League and PSATC currently do not support these proposals as drafted due to their restrictive nature. All three of these bills are currently before the House Transportation Committee. (See SB 607 summary on next page) 1 Leisatie Locato Leisatie Locato Local Use of Radar and LIDAR Senate Bill 607 (PN 675), introduced by Senator Mario Scavello, amends Title 75 (Vehicles) authorizing the local use of both radar and LIDAR by any police officer.

Senator Bob Casey, Jr. won with 53.6% over Tom Smith (44.7%). Kathleen Kane triumphed over David Freed 56.1% to 41.6% in the race for Attorney General. A Democrat has never held the office of Attorney General. State Treasurer Rob McCord won re-election 52.5% to 44% over Diana Irey Vaughan.

In this race, the Libertarian candidate Betsy Elizabeth Summers drew 3.8% of the vote, potentially enough to swing the decision.
