Chemtrail bill set for House circuit described as ‘nonsense’

Legislation designed to stop the potential release of climate-controlling chemicals into the atmosphere is scheduled to be considered in the House this week, a bill the Senate’s sponsor also relates to chemtrails, a conspiracy theory related to the lines of vapor coming from jet planes.

One environmental lobbyist called the measure “nonsense,” even though it passed the Senate last week 25-6.

Rep. Monty Fritts, R-Kingston, is taking the matter seriously and is slated to put House Bill 2063 before the Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee on Wednesday. He is not expected to try to amend the measure.

Fritts said Monday the bill deals only with “geoengineering” purportedly to be done by the federal government and noted he is not concerned about a connection with chemtrail conspiracy theories.
