This bill proposes the creation of a new chapter in Title 23.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, focusing on harmful atmospheric activities. It defines key terms such as "aircraft," "cloud seeding," "stratospheric aerosol injection," and "weather engineering," and establishes that engaging in polluting atmospheric activities is prohibited. Violators of this law would be guilty of a class C felony, facing fines of up to $500,000. The bill also includes an exemption for individuals operating aircraft for agricultural purposes.

Additionally, the bill outlines reporting and investigative requirements, allowing individuals to report suspected harmful atmospheric activities to local sheriffs. It mandates that sheriffs investigate credible reports and provides a framework for emergency measures to assess excessive electromagnetic radiation or other harmful emissions. The director of the Department of Environmental Quality and county sheriffs are tasked with monitoring and enforcing compliance, including the authority to cease operations of any facility or aircraft found to be in violation of the chapter.
