The legislation's sponsor, Monty Fritts, called it "a very common-sense thing to do".

Although several lawmakers mentioned chemtrails while the bill was being discussed, during Monday's session Mr Fritts focused on cloud seeding.

It sounds like the guy who put forward the legislation was concerned about something that's at least plausible[0], but some of the more reality challenged members hijacked the debate?

[0] I have no idea what chemicals are used for cloud seeding, I just know it's a real thing, unlike chemtrails.

The first time I heard news about this it included text from the bill and that's exactly what I thought too. Sounded like someone wanted a bill for a very real thing and the media spun it into chemtrails but now it seems his peers have too.

Silver iodide and potassium iodide.
