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

Mississippi's HB 1412 prohibits intentionally releasing chemicals into the state's atmosphere with the purpose of altering weather, temperature, or sunlight intensity. The bill directly affects individuals, organizations, or entities considering weather modification activities within Mississippi's borders. It amends existing air pollution laws (specifically referencing Sections 49-17-5, 17-19, 17-25, and 17-36 of the Mississippi Code) to explicitly ban such atmospheric interventions. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
