Bill > HJ0001

This joint resolution calls for Wyoming to prohibit unauthorized atmospheric geoengineering activities, which involve intentionally modifying the atmosphere through techniques like solar radiation management or stratospheric aerosol injection. The resolution seeks to draft legislation that would make it a felony to inject, disperse, or release chemical, biological, or radiological substances into the atmosphere without express state approval, ban the use of unmarked aircraft or platforms for such modifications, and reject any federal or international geoengineering programs conducted over Wyoming without full disclosure and state consent. The resolution is motivated by concerns about potential unknown impacts on human health, livestock, crops, and ecosystems, and is grounded in the state's constitutional duty to protect public health and assert sovereignty. While supporting the prohibition of unauthorized atmospheric modifications, the resolution explicitly does not oppose ground-based and aerosol cloud seeding. The Wyoming Legislature urges elected officials and agencies to support legislation preserving the state's natural skies and will transmit the resolution to federal government leaders, including the President, Congressional leadership, and Wyoming's Congressional Delegation.
