A bill for an act regulating confinement feeding operations by providing for construction permits, and making penalties applicable.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa law so that any new confinement feeding structure that could hold 300 animal units or more must get a construction permit, instead of the current 1,000‑unit threshold. It keeps exemptions for small farms and research‑college operations, but still requires permits for unformed manure storage. Violations can be fined up to $10,000 per day administratively or $5,000 per day in court.
