HB 676 proposes an amendment to Subchapter A, Chapter 62, Parks and Wildlife Code, to allow the use of unmanned aircraft for locating and retrieving wounded or killed wildlife on private land, provided such usage complies with applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules, restrictions, or exemptions. It grants the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission the authority to adopt rules for administration but prohibits requiring additional authorization for drone use beyond existing FAA guidelines. The Act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025​.
