In a Historic Move for Environmental Integrity and Public Health

Florida has officially passed SB 56 / HB 477, becoming the first state in the nation to criminalize weather modification and geoengineering.

This is not just a legislative milestone — it is a declaration of atmospheric sovereignty.

The law makes it a felony crime to engage in unauthorized geoengineering or weather modification, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.

On April 30, the Florida House passed the measure with a decisive 82–28 vote, adopting the Senate's version, which had already cleared all committees.

Florida has drawn a bright line in the sky:

It will not allow corporate interests, climate interventionists, or covert operations to tamper with its atmosphere or pollute its environment.

The Sunshine State intends to keep the sun shining — unmodified and sovereign.

Legislative Champions

This groundbreaking bill was courageously championed by Senator Ileana Garcia and Representative Kevin Steele. Their bold leadership in the face of intense opposition affirms a new model of governance — one that prioritizes public health, transparency, and the rights of future generations.

Strategic Advocacy by the Global Wellness Forum

The Global Wellness Forum (GWF) played a pivotal role in advancing this legislation — providing expert testimony, conducting public education, and organizing targeted strategic advocacy across Florida and beyond.

Our Anti-Geoengineering Expert Council, a multidisciplinary body of scientists, legal scholars, and environmental health leaders, has helped catalyze this shift in political consciousness and provided briefings to the Legislative and Executive branches of our newly reinvigorated constitutional republic. And this bill's passage represents a critical validation of their ongoing work.
