GeoLawWatch Still in play 10

HB1425 Laid on table

Geoengineering; prohibited, civil penalties.

Virginia's HB 1425 takes a minimalist approach to geoengineering prohibition, adding just three short subsections to existing air pollution law and relying entirely on standard civil penalty mechanisms rather than creating new criminal offences or specialised enforcement structures.

House Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources Subcommittee recommended laying on the table (9-Y 1-N)
