    1. S. 1608 (Feinstein), the Consumer Drone Safety Act, which would require safety features on consumer UAS as well as strengthen federal law governing the operation of consumer UAS.

    2. H.R. 3025 (Cook), the Wildfire Airspace Protection Act of 2015, which would make it a crime to launch an UAS in a place near a wildfire that threatens the real or personal property of the United States or any federal department or agency, if the UAS interferes with firefighting efforts.
