SB 215 prohibits anyone in South Dakota from intentionally releasing polluting emissions into the atmosphere through cloud seeding, weather modification, or excessive electromagnetic and microwave radiation. The bill establishes penalties for violations and updates existing environmental regulations in state law to enforce this new restriction. This appears to target concerns about artificial weather manipulation and radiation-based activities that could affect air quality.
