Lea & roosevelt weather modification

Bill Summary:

The bill, officially titled "Lea & Roosevelt Weather Modification," pertains to a weather modification program in Lea and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico. It was introduced as Senate Bill 428 during the 51st Legislature's first session in 2013.

Key Provisions:

• The bill proposes an appropriation of $150,000 from the general fund to the Interstate Stream Commission.
• The allocated funds are designated for use in a weather modification program within Lea and Roosevelt counties for the fiscal years 2014 and 2015.
• Any unspent or unencumbered funds remaining at the end of fiscal year 2015 will revert back to the general fund.

The bill ultimately did not progress, having "died in chamber," indicating it was not passed or brought to a vote.

The bill was first introduced in January 2013 and subsequently assigned to the Senate Conservation and Senate Finance committees. It received a committee report recommending it to pass, but the following action saw it postponed indefinitely, which means it is no longer being considered for further debate or voting. As a result, the bill has effectively failed to progress through the legislative process. There will be no further steps for this bill unless it is reintroduced in a future legislative session.
