It seems fairly obvious based on other articles talking about this that the legislation originates from chemtrail conspiracy theories and not actual geoengineering. I will quote some parts
Chemtrail believers often call chemtrails "geoengineering" as a means of giving their conspiracy theories some credibility. That's not to say geoengineering isn't real. I'm saying it's a term that conspiracy theorists have appropriated to talk about chemtrails without actually mentioning the word chemtrails
Conspiracies tend to have a grain of truth, that gets exaggerated to allow the idea to be ridiculed.
