The Tennessee state house and senate passed a bill with an amendment that would ban any research or implementation of geoengineering projects that may alleviate some of the long term effects out of concerns about conspiracy theories regarding so-called "chem trails" in the skies, NBC News reports.

In a bill to shorten the time vacancies can exist on a pollution control board, six Republican state senators sponsored the amendment reading, "The intentional injection, release, or dispersion, by any means, of chemicals, chemical compounds, substances, or apparatus within the borders of this state into the atmosphere with the express purpose of affecting temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight is prohibited."

"This will be my wife's favorite bill of the year. She has worried about this, I bet, 10 years. It's been going on a long, long time," Republican state senator Frank Niceley said at a hearing about the bill in February. "If you look up– one day, it'll be clear. The next day they will look like some angels have been playing tic-tac-toe. They're everywhere. I've got pictures on my phone with X's right over my house. For years they denied they were doing anything."

In response to the bill, Democratic representative John Ray Clemmons added an amendment which added "…which may threaten the Sasquatch and its natural habitat, is prohibited." to the end of the previously listed addendum. Both amendment passed, making Tennessee a haven for Bigfoots.
