Bill > S1167

This bill repeals Chapter 43 of Title 22 in the Idaho Code, which relates to weather modification districts. Weather modification typically refers to intentional human efforts to change atmospheric conditions, such as cloud seeding to induce rainfall or reduce hail. By completely removing this chapter of law, Idaho is eliminating any existing legal framework for creating, operating, or regulating weather modification districts within the state. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will go into effect on July 1, 2025, immediately after its passage. This suggests the legislature wants to quickly remove these existing provisions about weather modification, though the specific reasons for the repeal are not provided in the bill text. The repeal means that any previous legal structures, regulations, or guidelines surrounding weather modification activities in Idaho will no longer be in effect.
