HB 2388 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates the "Clear Skies Act" prohibiting geoengineering, cloud seeding and other atmospheric interventions, and authorizing DNR to investigate violations, and includes penalty provisions

HB 2388, the "Clean Skies Act," prohibits all geoengineering, cloud seeding, and atmospheric interventions in Missouri. It directly affects any entity - including individuals, corporations, government agencies, or organizations - conducting such activities within the state. The bill requires the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to create a public reporting system, investigate violations, issue enforceable cease-and-desist orders, and impose penalties: felony charges with fines of at least $100,000 or up to two years in prison per violation (with separate penalties for each day of continued activity). The law explicitly excludes pesticide use in farming and ranching operations from the prohibition.
