Taiwan's Legislative Yuan scheduled consideration of draft drone legislation on August 27, 2026. Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu convened party consultations, where the Democratic Progressive Party caucus advocated a special statute while the Kuomintang and Taiwan People's Party insisted on annual budget allocation. Kuomintang lawmakers proposed allocating NT$240 billion over six years, but no consensus was reached.
Chen Ching-long of the Taiwan People's Party outlined their proposal to establish a strategic committee for unmanned vehicles to set development guidelines. Under this plan, the Executive Yuan would compile annual budgets based on industry needs for legislative review.
Official archives show lawmakers previously held consultations on the draft act on August 20, 2026, which ended without agreement on funding caps and legislative details.
