Explanatory Notes
How This System Works
Every day, at approximately 07:30Z, this system updates from LegiScan. It scans all bills in the current legislative session, searching for keywords such as geoengineering and weather modification. This process builds the GeoLawWatch database.
The website primarily reports on the current status of the bills in this session. We use AI to summarize bills and legislative progress in a more understandable way, but the information itself remains strictly factual.
