Mississippi geoengineering ban; enact.
SB 2005 prohibits geoengineering activities within Mississippi by defining "geoengineering" as the intentional release of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere to alter weather, temperature, or sunlight intensity. The bill amends Mississippi's pollution control law (Sections 49-17-5, 17, and 19) to explicitly ban such activities statewide and establish penalties for violations. It directly affects any entity - individual, organization, or federal agency - conducting geoengineering within Mississippi's borders. The law places this prohibition under the Mississippi Air and Water Pollution Control Commission's authority, requiring compliance with existing environmental regulations.
