Arizona's House Bill 2733 aims to empower local and state authorities to shoot down drones used by drug cartels within 30 miles of the southern border. The bill, which has bipartisan support, seeks to address the growing use of drones for monitoring law enforcement and smuggling operations.

The legislation would provide qualified immunity for authorities taking action against these drones. The bill awaits consideration by Governor Katie Hobbs after passing the Republican-majority legislature.
