| SB520 | Repealing the statute governing weather modification experimentation. | Inexpedient to Legislate | ||
| This two-sentence bill - the earliest in New Hampshire's weather modification legislative saga - proposed simply repealing the state's weather modification statute without explanation or replacement. Despite bipartisan Senate sponsorship, including five Senators, it was unanimously killed in committee, setting the stage for a pivot to the transparency-based approach that would succeed the following year with HB 128. |
