Stops people from trying to change weather across the U.S.
This bill would make it illegal for anyone to knowingly try to change the weather in the United States. It would set up criminal fines of up to $100,000 and jail time for those who break the rule, along with civil penalties. The bill also creates a way for the public to report suspected weather modification activities.
Currently, there are no broad federal bans on weather modification. Some activities might even be allowed under existing rules, potentially with licenses or permits. If this bill passes, it would make all weather modification illegal in the U.S. It would repeal any existing permissions and create a system for reporting and penalizing violations. Penalties would include criminal fines up to $100,000 and up to 5 years in prison, plus civil penalties up to $10,000.
