  >Gov. Mark Gordon vetoed the bill late Monday, saying federal law preempts it and SF 132 puts law enforcement personnel in “a Catch 22 situation where they are authorized by the state to break federal law and regulations.” Is there a reference to what law preempts it?

    It's pretty squarely in the FAA's territory. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/49/40103 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/49/40103 > Rep. Julie Jarvis, R-Casper, said she voted against the override because President Donald Trump and FAA have assured the public the drones are friendly and authorized. > It is a federal felony to destroy aircraft. Provenza worries the bill makes law enforcement agents federally culpable.
