Bill > HB248

This bill prohibits any person from knowingly injecting, releasing, or dispersing chemical compounds, substances, or apparatuses within or above the state of Alabama with the intent of manipulating weather conditions, such as altering temperature or sunlight intensity. The legislation effectively bans weather modification activities, which could include techniques like cloud seeding or other methods designed to influence meteorological phenomena. The bill will become effective on October 1, 2025, giving potential practitioners of weather modification advance notice of the legal restriction. By preventing the deliberate dispersion of materials meant to affect weather patterns, the bill aims to protect the natural atmospheric processes and potentially prevent unintended environmental consequences that might result from human intervention in weather systems.
