Creates provisions relating to weather modification
SB 1368 prohibits all weather modification activities in Missouri, defined as releasing chemicals or devices into the atmosphere to alter weather, climate, or sunlight. It makes violations a class E felony and imposes civil penalties up to $200,000. The bill requires airports to report aircraft equipped for potential weather modification starting in 2027 and establishes a public reporting system for violations. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources enforces the law, collects penalties into a conservation fund, and can seek court orders for violations.
