A bill for an act providing for county control of the siting and management of confinement feeding operations.
Introduced, referred to Agriculture.
Summary
The bill lets county boards create siting ordinances for confinement feeding operations that house 1,000 animal units or more, giving them authority to approve or deny construction locations and to set extra distance requirements. It also clarifies that counties may not regulate ordinary farm land or structures unless state law specifically allows it, and it exempts typical farm buildings from these new rules. The changes aim to give local communities more say over large animal facilities that can affect water quality and land use.
