"PIERRE | A measure that would clarify that drones weighing less than 55 pounds would not have to be registered with the state was moved out of the Senate Transportation Committee on Wednesday morning.
State
Transportation Secretary Darin Bergquist said that although estimates
indicate there are 6,000 drones in South Dakota, most of them
recreational, the department doesn’t have an interest in trying to track
them.
Federal regulations
require that drones between 0.55 and 55 pounds be registered. That
involves a fee of $25, plus 4 percent of the cost of the drone,
Bergquist said.
Nobody spoke against the measure, which now advances to the full Senate."
A 50 pound drone is pretty darn big to me.
