A bill for an act relating to the regulation of confinement feeding operations, including by providing for partially roofed structures and prohibiting the construction, including expansion, of structures, making penalties applicable, and including effective date provisions.

Summary

The bill expands the definition of a confinement feeding operation to include partially roofed facilities and then freezes any new building or expansion of such structures, except for small animal operations. Projects that began before the law’s enactment may be finished, and the freeze lifts 30 days after the DNR publishes a notice that fewer than 100 water bodies are on the state’s impaired‑water list. The measure is intended to protect water quality while giving the DNR a clear trigger to end the ban.
