Rep Dennis Kucinich introduced a pie-in-the-sky bill in the House back in October, 2001. It never made it past committee, but it is at least on record. I didn’t care for him much as Mayor of Cleveland way back in the day, but I do tip my hat that he tried with this one.

“Chemtrails” is mentioned in Section 7(B)ii near the bottom.
