Weather modification and geo engineering; prohibit.

HB 1087 prohibits any intentional release of chemicals into Mississippi's atmosphere with the purpose of altering weather, temperature, or sunlight intensity. It directly affects individuals, companies, or government entities attempting weather modification activities within the state. The bill adds this specific prohibition to Mississippi's existing environmental laws (referencing Sections 49-17-5, 19, 25, and 36 of the Mississippi Code), which govern air and water pollution. This is a concrete policy change banning a defined activity, not a new regulatory framework. The bill was introduced in 2026 but died in committee without becoming law.
