Bill > SB1426

This bill establishes the Weather Modification Act for the State of Illinois, which comprehensively prohibits all forms of weather modification within the state's boundaries. Specifically, the legislation bans cloud seeding, which is defined as a technique intended to alter the amount or type of precipitation by introducing substances into clouds via airplane or ground-based methods. By explicitly outlawing these practices, the bill aims to prevent any intentional human interference with natural weather patterns, effectively making it illegal to conduct cloud seeding or other weather modification activities in Illinois. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, creating a clear legal prohibition on these scientific and meteorological interventions. The legislation is straightforward in its approach, providing a simple but absolute ban on weather modification techniques without making exceptions or establishing a regulatory framework for such activities.
