Things can change very quickly if there's an "attack" on U.S. soil they totally didn't know about in advance or anything when they signed this.
Federal regulations and protections can get pushed aside real fast in the name of security, especially when you have states like Louisiana already working so closely with DHS.
Or if you just ignore federal courts, which seems to be the current fashion.

Louisiana has become the first state to allow law enforcement to intercept and disable drones posing threats to public safety. Gov. Jeff Landry signed the groundbreaking "We Will Act" Act into law on Wednesday, June 18.
Well this is certainly odd timing...
HB261 by Rep. Jack "Jay" Gallé Jr., R-District 104 (St. Tammany Parish) grants specially trained officers the authority to use both kinetic and non-kinetic methods to neutralize drones operating unlawfully near sensitive areas like schools and public events.
??? What that means??
"This law puts Louisiana on the front lines of drone defense," Gov. Landry said. "We are taking bold steps now to protect our people and our skies before tragedy strikes."
Violators face strict penalties, including fines up to $5,000, up to one year in jail, and mandatory forfeiture of the drone. The legislation comes amid growing concerns over unauthorized drone activities near sensitive locations.
Gov. Landry noted this move places Louisiana at the forefront of state-level drone policy, setting a precedent that may influence future legislation across the country.
This weird video of Landry signing the bill specifically mentions Louisiana's nuclear power facilities, then Landry tries to make light of everything by saying "They tell me the president is getting ready to do an executive order on some of this stuff... I didn't say that."
... This is fine.
Hmm, if laws do pass preventing states from making laws against AI, then we may have legal conflicts regarding laws against drones. They use AI.

Yes, absolutely, 100%.
FAA has from the beginning been very forceful in asserting that it is the sole authority for things attempting to defy gravity.
On the flip side though, the GOP stopped caring about anything courts say.
So. Guess we'll see how this plays out for the next few years at least.
they have also shown willingness to dismantle federal agencies for whatever agenda they want to accomplish.

Conveniently will cover any drone taking aerial footage of protests or police state suppression tactics
For people who supposedly hate China and big government these MAGA fascist are trying to be a whole lot like the worst part of the Chinese Communist Party.

leave it to the southern red states to try to pass laws that are completely illegal over and over and over again

Since nobody has mentioned it, all of this is turbo illegal and the federal courts will absolutely nuke this from orbit. State governments do not control airspace, full stop. The courts have been very clear on this. Manned vs unmanned doesn't matter to the FAA, it's still one hell of a PP slap from the feds for encroaching on their turf. Additionally, any form of jamming (desense, deauth, noise, location spoofing, fraudulent signals etc) is illegal and regulated by the FCC, and doing it with intent to take down an aircraft means you get strung up by both the FCC and FAA simultaneously. In particular doing literally anything to the GPS band will pose a massive and immediate risk to manned passenger aircraft and the feds aren't going to look kindly on that.
With the federal government gutting funding of it's own agencies, we may see more of this.
Federal laws are effective if they're effectively enforced. If states lose confidence in federal enforcement, it makes sense that they will try to do their own thing, and see if the federal courts are understaffed and lethargic or able to act.
And if the federal government succeeds in using AI instead of human staff, then all each state will need to do is pass the same law a few different times with slightly different wording to hit the right gap in the AI.
There's interesting times ahead.

Why do I get the feeling that this will end up like Chief Wiggum releasing the dogs?

Easier for the gullible maga base to remember and parrot as if the title actually means anything. You know they don't actually read the bills, they only know what fox tells them.

FAA: I don’t like what Louisiana is doing.
Donald: we’re going to dismantle FAA.

I'm sure the 2 iq police in Louisiana will be able to figure any of this out. That equipment will be rotting in some storage unit in 3 months.
