The main purpose of this legislation is to enhance the safety and efficiency of pipeline inspections by allowing the use of unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as drones, and satellites. The goal is to improve the monitoring of pipeline rights-of-way, which are the areas where pipelines are located, ensuring that they are maintained properly and any issues are detected early. Key provisions of the legislation include the requirement for pipeline owners and operators to inspect the surface conditions of their pipeline rights-of-way.
