|
||||
| SB126 | Weather Modification Program | Died in chamber | ||
| This bare-bones 2021 appropriation for weather modification presaged the more detailed 2024 cloud seeding pilot project bill—both routed funding through New Mexico State University to the Department of Agriculture, but the earlier bill provided money without any programmatic framework. |

2024 Regular Session
|
||||
| HB130 | Cloud Seeding Pilot Program | Died in chamber | ||
| New Mexico's cloud seeding pilot project would have addressed one of western water law's thorniest questions—whether artificially enhanced precipitation belongs to existing rights holders—while providing state liability protection for cloud seeding activities. The bill passed the House but died in the Senate despite clearing committee. |
