Prohibits release of certain substances into atmosphere for purposes of geoengineering.

This New Jersey bill prohibits any person or entity from releasing hazardous chemicals or physical agents into the atmosphere for the purpose of geoengineering, which includes activities like cloud seeding and aerosol injection. To enforce this rule, the Department of Environmental Protection will establish a public reporting program that allows citizens to submit evidence of suspected violations and investigate credible reports. Violators face civil penalties of up to $50,000 per day for each offense, with a formal hearing process available before fines are finalized. The legislation also requires the state to notify federal agencies if they attempt to conduct prohibited geoengineering projects within New Jersey airspace.
