Ileana Garcia files bills to ban cloud seeding, expand rights of nursing home residents

by The 100 Companies

Miami Republican Sen. Ileana Garcia is filing bills for the 2025 Legislative Session, and some are headline-grabbers.

One proposal would repeal a long-standing Florida law that allows state-licensed cloud seeding and other “artificial weather interference.” It would ban those practices in the future, with violators facing up to 60 days in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Another would guarantee the right of any nursing home resident or their guardian to install and use a monitoring device – a camera, audio recorder or combination of the two – in their room.

Activists have called for such a measure to help combat elder abuse.
