HB130 Postponed Indefinitely

Cloud Seeding Pilot Program

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.

Latest: Passed by the House, the Senate Conservation Committee recommended "Do pass", then postponed
