This bill establishes new regulations regarding weather modification in Oklahoma, specifically prohibiting the intentional injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere with the aim of altering temperature, weather, or sunlight intensity. The legislation empowers the Governor to direct the Oklahoma Air National Guard to take various actions against violators, including documenting aircraft, securing photographic evidence, and escorting offending aircraft to the nearest airport for further investigation.

Additionally, the bill repeals multiple sections of the Oklahoma Weather Modification Act, effectively removing previous regulations related to weather modification practices. The new law is set to be codified as Section 2-5-131 of Title 27A in the Oklahoma Statutes and will take effect on November 1, 2025.
