This bill amends Iowa law to prohibit the intentional emission of air contaminants into the atmosphere when such emissions are aimed at affecting temperature, weather, or sunlight intensity. It introduces a new subsection to Section 455B.133, which mandates the adoption of rules by the environmental protection commission to enforce this prohibition. The bill emphasizes that these rules will take precedence over any conflicting laws.

Additionally, the bill establishes a new section, 708C.1, which outlines the specifics of the prohibition and grants the environmental protection commission the authority to create rules for its administration. It allows for the adoption of emergency rules that can take effect immediately upon filing, ensuring prompt implementation of the prohibition. Overall, the legislation aims to regulate geoengineering practices within the state to protect air quality and environmental integrity.
