Atmosphere Study Act
To direct the Secretary of Energy to conduct a study to identify the effects of covered geoengineering projects on the health of humans and the environment, and for other purposes.
HB6941, known as the Atmosphere Study Act, aims to have the Secretary of Energy conduct a study on the impacts of geoengineering projects on human health and the environment. This study will help us understand the potential risks and benefits of these projects, which involve large-scale efforts to manipulate the Earth's climate.
This bill would primarily affect environmental scientists, policymakers, and the general public by providing more information on the effects of geoengineering. This knowledge can help guide future decisions and policies related to environmental protection and climate management.
HB6941 was introduced on January 6, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Elijah Crane, a Republican, is the primary sponsor of the bill. As of now, the bill is in its early stages, and no further actions have been taken.
