A bill for an act relating to the regulation of confinement feeding operations, including by providing for partially roofed structures and prohibiting the construction, including expansion, of structures, making penalties applicable, and including effective date provisions.

SF 419 prohibits the construction or expansion of confinement feeding operation structures (including partially roofed facilities, manure storage, and egg washwater structures) in Iowa. It directly affects large livestock operations planning new or expanded facilities, while exempting small animal feeding operations and projects already underway before the bill's effective date. The bill amends Iowa's Animal Agriculture Compliance Act to update the definition of "confinement feeding operation" and establishes this moratorium as an immediate law upon enactment. It does not impact existing operations or those with pre-existing construction permits.
