New Hampshire (2013 Regular Session)
HB179 Repealing the law on weather modification experimentation. Inexpedient to Legislate
This two-sentence repeal bill from 2013 represents the earliest known attempt in the New Hampshire legislature to eliminate the state's weather modification statute. Despite generating enough interest for a recessed public hearing, it was killed 12-7 in committee - a closer vote than the unanimous rejection that later repeal attempts would receive. Last update
