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 for suspected harmful atmospheric activities. Individuals can report such activities to local sheriffs, who are mandated to investigate credible reports. The director of the Department of Environmental Quality and county sheriffs are tasked with encouraging public monitoring and reporting of these activities. The bill also details enforcement actions, including the authority to cease operations of any aircraft or facility suspected of violating the law and mandates immediate reporting and verification of compliance regarding harmful emissions or radiation.
