This bill establishes a legal framework to prohibit geoengineering activities, specifically targeting practices such as cloud seeding and other forms of weather engineering that involve the deliberate manipulation of the atmosphere. It defines key terms related to these activities, including "cloud seeding," "polluting atmospheric activity," and "weather engineering." Under the new provisions, individuals are prohibited from engaging in these activities unless otherwise permitted by law.

Violations of this prohibition are classified as a class D felony, which carries penalties of up to five years of confinement and fines ranging from $1,025 to $10,245. Each day of continued violation is considered a separate offense. The bill also empowers the Department of Public Safety to issue cease and desist orders to suspected violators, which will have the same authority as a court order. The legislation is deemed of immediate importance and will take effect upon enactment.
