Enacting the clean air preservation act to prohibit solar radiation modification, geoengineering, weather modification, cloud seeding and other polluting atmospheric experiments or interventions and creating a crime for violation thereof.

SB 449, the Clean Air Preservation Act, prohibits conducting polluting atmospheric experiments in Kansas, including solar radiation modification, geoengineering, weather modification, cloud seeding, and other interventions releasing pollutants. It directly affects any entity - such as government agencies, corporations, or research organizations - conducting these activities within the state. The bill creates criminal penalties for violations, repeals prior weather modification laws, and requires law enforcement to enforce the ban through investigation and interdiction of prohibited activities. Key provisions define prohibited "atmospheric activities" as any pollutant-releasing experiments harming health, environment, or agriculture, including methods like chaff dispersal or aerosol injection.
