Bill > SB00067

This bill requires the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to publicly disclose on its website information about chemicals released into the air by the federal government, specifically focusing on activities like stratospheric aerosol injections and solar radiation modification experiments. The term "stratospheric aerosol injections" refers to a proposed climate engineering technique where reflective particles are dispersed in the upper atmosphere to potentially reduce global temperatures, while "solar radiation modification" describes various methods of reflecting sunlight back into space to mitigate climate change. By mandating this transparency, the bill aims to provide Connecticut residents with information about potentially significant environmental interventions that could impact air quality, atmospheric conditions, and potentially public health. The bill appears designed to increase governmental accountability and public awareness about federal weather and climate engineering activities that might otherwise occur without widespread public knowledge.
