Bill Summary:
The bill, titled "Lea & Roosevelt Weather Modification", was introduced by Bob Wooley during the 51st Legislature of New Mexico and pertains to an appropriation for weather modification. It involves the allocation of funds to support a weather modification program specifically for Lea and Roosevelt Counties.
Key Provisions:

History
The bill was initially filed on January 28, 2014, and was quickly assigned to the House Agriculture & Water Resources Committee, as well as the House Appropriations & Finance Committee. It received a "do pass" recommendation from the committee but was subsequently referred to the Appropriations & Finance Committee. However, it encountered a setback as its action was postponed indefinitely, meaning that it will not progress further in its current form. As of now, the bill has effectively failed to advance.
