Summary

The bill amends the state feedlot zoning statutes to let counties approve up to 24 chickens on any lot through local ordinances. It applies to county boards, landowners, and small‑scale poultry keepers, giving them clearer authority despite existing feedlot setback rules. The change could expand backyard poultry keeping while keeping it within local zoning control.
