| H0477 | Geoengineering and Weather Modification Activities | Laid on table | ||
| Florida becomes the second state after Tennessee to ban weather modification, but goes further by creating a public airport surveillance network requiring monthly reports on aircraft "equipped with" potential dispersal components, and by dismantling its 68-year-old weather modification licensing program entirely rather than simply prohibiting new activities. |

| Florida becomes the second state, after Tennessee, to ban weather modification, but goes substantially further by creating a mandatory airport surveillance network, establishing felony-level penalties with fines up to $100,000, and completely dismantling its 68-year-old weather modification licensing program rather than simply prohibiting new activities under it. |
