HB 25: Air pollution; dispersion of items intended to affect weather prohibited; pollution reduction fund created; environmental management department required to administer

HB 25 prohibits releasing chemicals or substances into the air to alter weather conditions (like temperature or sunlight intensity) within Alabama. Violators face a Class B misdemeanor charge and fines up to $100,000 per offense. The bill creates the Alabama Air Pollution Control Fund, funded entirely by these fines, to support air pollution reduction efforts. It requires the Alabama Department of Environmental Management to administer the fund and establish a public online reporting system for violations.
