I'm not a member of the AMA, so do not have full access to their website, but I haven't seen a mention of any repositories that contain a collections of laws regarding UAV usage. The AMA site has a few NOTAMS [http://www.modelaircraft.org/membership/clubs/notams.aspx], but knowing other local laws would be useful.
Is anyone familiar with perhaps a list of laws by region which restrict, or even mention, such laws.

"Do I need to get approval from the FAA to fly a model aircraft for recreation?
No. FAA guidance does not address size of the model aircraft. FAA guidance says that model aircraft flights should be kept below 400 feet above ground level (AGL), should be flown a sufficient distance from populated areas and full scale aircraft, and are not for business purposes."

No model aircraft within the 30NM mile FRZ in Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Flight Restricted Zone
A NOTAM has been issued in regards to the Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA). In the interest of National Security the FAA has codified special flight rules and flight restrictions for certain aircraft operations in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. The new rules and the NOTAM went into effect on February 17, 2009 and were updated December 1, 2010. The rules and restrictions remain in effect until further notice. Outdoor model aircraft operations are prohibited within the inner portion of the SFRA known as the Washington Metropolitan Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ). TFRs are subject to change with very short notice
Sporting event NOTAM FDC 9/5151
http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_9_5151.html
Limits the airspace restrictions (3NM to 3,000 feet) to Major League Baseball, NFL, NCAA Division IA stadiums, and major speedways (NASCAR) seating more than 30,000 people and limits the effective time of the restrictions from one hour before the scheduled start time of the event to one hour after scheduled time.
That is all I have seen mentioned through several discussions or forums I have read.
It would be nice it there was a regional interface for traveling UAV operators can be aware of the laws so to avoid trouble. If there isn't already a repository for the information, then maybe a wiki can be made?
