Prior law prohibiting weather modification reenactment
This bill reenacts a prior law prohibiting weather modification within Minnesota's boundaries and the airspace above it. It directly affects any person, organization, or government entity attempting to intentionally alter weather (such as through cloud seeding or chemical dispersal) within the state. The law makes such actions a misdemeanor, with each day of violation treated as a separate offense. The policy aims to protect public safety, health, and environmental welfare by preventing unauthorized weather modification activities.
