HB60

Kentucky HB60 prohibits geoengineering activities, including solar radiation modification and cloud seeding, to protect the environment and public.

Kentucky HB60 introduces a new section in KRS Chapter 512 to prohibit geoengineering activities such as solar radiation modification and cloud seeding. These activities are defined as atmospheric polluting interventions that manipulate the environment to alter the earth's atmosphere or surface. The bill aims to safeguard human health, the environment, and agricultural operations from potential harm caused by these practices. Engaging in such activities is classified as a Class D felony, with a mandatory civil penalty of at least $500,000 per day of violation.
