    “the injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance, or an apparatus into the atmosphere within the borders of this state for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight is prohibited.”

    🤔 a substance or device released into atmosphere for the express purpose of affecting the temperature or sunlight intensity

    Are they trying to ban misters, solar shades, and umbrellas?

      Sorry outdoor restaurants, gonna need you to remove the umbrellas from your tables. They’re classified as an apparatus used for the express purpose of reducing the intensity of sunlight.

        Uh, how does that qualify as “released into the atmosphere”

        I mean during a tornado it could potentially be within violation but at that point there’s probably bigger issues.
