Idaho Legislature urges federal action to prohibit solar geoengineering without state consent.

The Idaho Legislature expresses support for federal legislation to ban solar geoengineering activities within Idaho's airspace. This includes prohibiting the injection of chemical, biological, or radiological substances into the atmosphere for solar geoengineering without state approval. The bill also seeks to make such activities a felony offense, with substantial fines and criminal penalties per violation. It urges federal law enforcement agencies to collaborate with Idaho's Department of Environmental Quality and state law enforcement to enforce these provisions.
