Overview

• On May 29, the Louisiana House approved SB 46 by a 58-32 vote, moving the measure to the Senate for final consideration
• Republican Rep. Kimberly Landry Coates argued the ban is needed to stop alleged weather modification using chemicals such as aluminum and barium despite offering no concrete evidence
• Federal agencies including the EPA and NOAA maintain that the visible trails are harmless condensation trails and deny any chemtrail weather-control programs
• The bill directs the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality to record citizen reports of chemtrails for evaluation by the Louisiana Air National Guard
• Similar anti-chemtrail bills have been introduced in Florida and Tennessee and past attempts in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. failed due to lack of proof
