Florida Passes Bill HB477 Banning Weather Modification
By Zeee Media
Florida passes bill HB477 banning weather modification.
The bill bans “the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight.”
Deliberate attempts to influence weather patterns such as temperature changes, precipitation, or sunlight intensity would be outlawed.
Cloud seeding would be prohibited under this legislation.
Eliminates multiple provisions of Florida’s prior weather modification laws, which allowed for regulated activities like cloud seeding under state-issued licenses.
Violators face increased civil penalties, with fines up to $10,000 per offence (really not that big of a sum).
The bill must still pass the House and Senate, and then be signed by the governor to become law.
If signed into law, HB 477 takes effect on July 1, 2025.
