Yes. A lot of rules. But almost any aircraft above a certain weight (25 pounds?) operating legally in East Coast airspace is required to be utilizing an ADS-B transponder during most phases of flight and even when taxiing on the ground at larger/busier airports.
There are many other rules regulating this. But in particular trying to navigate up the east coast after passing by Dover AFB and then Atlantic City and McQuire Approach’s airspace and then to New York metropolis airspace VFR would really be a challenge. But even VFR and squawking VFR when close to congested airspace the aircraft must be transmitting data using an appropriate ADS-B compliant transponder.
