Air quality; prohibit injection of chemicals into atmosphere with purpose of affecting the weather.

HB 788 prohibits the intentional release of chemicals into Mississippi's atmosphere for the purpose of altering weather, temperature, or sunlight intensity. It directly affects any individual, company, or entity operating within Mississippi that might conduct weather modification activities. The bill's key mechanism is a clear ban (Section 1) on injecting, releasing, or dispersing chemicals for weather-related purposes, referencing existing air pollution laws (Sections 49-17-5, 17-19, 17-25, and 17-29) without changing their current requirements. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and never became law.
