I think this is a really shitty bill, but not for the reasons people are assuming. The actual wording is against cloud seeding, but DeSantis is trying to win over his crazies by implying it's for "chemtrails." We're kind of falling for it too here.

"Geoengineering and Weather Modification Activities" (SB 56), prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of a chemical, a chemical compound, a substance or an apparatus into the atmosphere in Florida to affect the temperature, weather, climate or intensity of sunlight. It was OK'd 28–9.

Huh, this makes the internal combustion engine illegal.

Water is a chemical. Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces water, water when dispersed into the atmosphere creates clouds. Clouds affect the temperature, weather, climate and intensity of sunlight. QED any burning of hydrocarbons is illegal.

Fuck yeah. I support this bill.

The sunshine state is finally investing in solar electric airplanes

That also makes it illegal to nuke hurricanes

Maybe that's partly why they proposed getting it outlawed now before hurricane season, now that Mr. Hurricane Nuker is back in office, heh.
