HF 202: Authorizing counties to adopt county legislation relating to the siting of confinement feeding operations

Died when the session ended · The 2020 session adjourned on June 14, 2020, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill in part amends provisions in Code chapter 459 which authorize the department of natural resources to issue permits for the construction or expansion of structures associated with a confinement feeding operation. The bill provides that a county may adopt a confinement feeding operations siting ordinance which allows a county board of supervisors to approve the site where the construction is to occur. The board may place conditions on site approval if the conditions relate to the construction or operation of the confinement feeding operation or to manure application.
