A bill for an act providing for county control of the siting and management of confinement feeding operations.

Summary

The bill lets counties adopt ordinances that control where confinement feeding operations of 1,000 animal units or more can be built or expanded. It overrides state preemption that previously barred counties from regulating such farms. The change gives local officials more authority to protect water quality and community health.
