Florida Bans Wx Modification Aircraft at Public Airports
FAA notices show enforcement at Palm Beach, Daytona Beach
a letter from the Florida attorney general to Florida's public airports

Florida has begun enforcing a new state law prohibiting weather modification and geoengineering activities within state lines, directing all 125 public-use airports in the state to report aircraft equipped for such operations. Some Florida airports have posted such restrictions via FAA notices.

In a July 14 letter to airport operators, Attorney General James Uthmeier said Senate Bill 56, signed into law in June, bans “the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, weather, climate, or intensity of sunlight.” Violators face fines up to $100,000.
