Tennessee passes 'chemtrail' bill banning airborne chemicals
3 April 2024 Tennessee lawmakers have passed a bill banning the release of airborne chemicals that critics say is inspired by "chemtrails" conspiracy theories. The bill forbids "intentional injection, release, or dispersion" of chemicals into the air. It doesn't explicitly mention chemtrails, which conspiracy theorists believe are poisons spread by planes. Instead it broadly prohibits "affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight". The ####-sponsored bill passed along party lines on Monday. If it is signed by Tennessee's governor, ##### Bill Lee, it will go into effect on 1 July
