Bill > SB1278

This bill prohibits any person from intentionally injecting, releasing, or dispensing materials within Arizona for solar radiation management, which is defined as altering atmospheric reflectivity to change the amount of sunlight reaching Earth. It also prevents political subdivisions, public universities, and private entities receiving public funds in Arizona from awarding grants for the development of solar radiation management technologies. Any resident can file a complaint with the Attorney General detailing alleged violations, including dates, locations, methods, and substances used, along with supporting evidence. The Attorney General is mandated to investigate credible complaints and may also initiate investigations based on reasonable suspicion of violations. If a violation is found, the Attorney General can file a lawsuit, and the court can order injunctive relief, attorney fees for the prevailing party, and other necessary remedies.
