Posted — UpdatedOther new laws will make it easier to prosecute domestic violence homicides, crack down on illegal massage parlors and revenge porn and toughen penalties for gang affiliation.
Drone pilots in the state, and across the country, are required to register with the Federal Aviation Administration.
Recreational drone users must always fly below an altitude of 400 feet and may not fly within 5 miles of an airport or near emergency response efforts or other aircraft.

Those using drones for commercial purposes face even more restrictions.
