HJM015 Statement of Purpose

HJM015 urges Congress to prohibit unauthorized geoengineering and atmospheric modification over Idaho without state approval, public disclosure, or transparency.

The memorial asserts Idaho’s responsibility under the Tenth Amendment to protect public health, private property, agriculture, and environmental integrity from potential harm caused by intentional atmospheric interventions, including weather modification and solar radiation management.

HJM015 also expresses concern that such activities may occur without sufficient oversight, consent, or evaluation of long-term impacts on human health, livestock, crops, ecosystems, and weather stability.

The memorial calls upon Congress to:

• Establish clear prohibitions and penalties for unauthorized geoengineering activities.

• Ensure coordination with state and federal enforcement agencies.

• Respect state sovereignty over activities conducted within and above Idaho’s borders.
