Overview
- The Louisiana House approved SB 46 on May 29 by a 58–32 vote, instructing the Department of Environmental Quality to record chemtrail complaints and forward them to the Air National Guard.
- Rep. Kimberly Landry Coates argued the bill is needed to block alleged government weather-modification experiments despite offering no verifiable evidence.
- Federal agencies including the EPA and NOAA have publicly denied chemtrail activities, explaining the streaks are harmless contrails from jet exhaust.
- Legislators in Florida, Tennessee and at least six other states have introduced comparable bans on chemtrails or geoengineering measures.
- SB 46 now awaits Senate debate and potential amendments before heading to the governor’s desk for an anticipated August enactment.
