Utah SB0023 prohibits the release of chemicals from aircraft for solar geoengineering and mandates reporting of suspected activities.

Utah SB0023 amends state law to make the release of chemicals from aircraft for solar geoengineering a third-degree felony, punishable by imprisonment and a fine. It defines "solar geoengineering" as modifying the Earth's atmosphere to reduce solar radiation. The bill requires airport operators to report suspected solar geoengineering activities to the Department of Transportation, which must then report credible instances to the Office of the Attorney General. It also provides a means for individuals to electronically submit information regarding suspected activities.
