Nice work! One slight problem: a few spot-checks show that lots of links have text that appear to direct readers to one place, but the underlying link goes to a Google page. I’m guessing you copied links directly from Google search results.
For Washington, I suggest linking directly to the state legislature site: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?bill=5782&year=2013 and http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?bill=1771&year=2013
Actually, I printed the PDF from a Google Drive doc. It changed the links. I can try to do it again without the intermediary.
Make that 31 states with drone bills in the works. Now ALASKA:

“House Bill 312 would prohibit city police, county sheriffs or state law enforcement agencies from using drones in investigations, unless they have a search warrant or reasonable suspicion that immediate action is needed to prevent imminent harm, property damage, escape of a suspect or destruction of evidence.
They would be allowed to use drones for other purposes, but any information gathered could not be used in legal proceedings. Facial recognition or other “biometric” matching technology would be prohibited. Drones used in searches would have to be documented in court within 48 hours.”
Add Alabama to the list.
