H362
Died for lack of action
North Carolina's H 362 prohibits atmospheric modification using language nearly identical to companion bill S 485, but with a critical difference: the House version uses "intentional or sole purpose" rather than "intentional and sole purpose," creating a broader prohibition that could capture activities where atmospheric modification is one of multiple objectives rather than requiring it to be the exclusive aim.
S485
Died for lack of action
North Carolina's S 485 prohibits atmospheric modification, including stratospheric aerosol injection, cloud seeding, and electromagnetic radio frequency emissions, by amending the state's Air Pollution Control statute, while notably carving out licensed agricultural pesticide application and delegating rule development for enforcement to the Environmental Management Commission without specifying dedicated penalties.
