Summary
National Drone and Advanced Air Mobility Initiative Act
This bill establishes the National Drone and Advanced Air Mobility Initiative within the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to advance relevant technologies and capabilities related to unmanned aircraft systems (or drones).

Additionally, the bill (1) limits the Federal Aviation Administration's authority to regulate drones that are flown for research purposes and meet conditions to limit risks to other aircraft; and (2) prohibits the purchase or operation of a drone from China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia, except for research to improve U.S. capabilities to counter drones.
