TO AMEND THE ARKANSAS SOIL NUTRIENT APPLICATION AND POULTRY LITTER UTILIZATION ACT.
House Bill 1928 amends the Arkansas Soil Nutrient Application and Poultry Litter Utilization Act, affecting farmers and agricultural operators who manage soil nutrients and poultry litter. The bill clarifies that applying nutrients consistent with an approved nutrient or poultry litter management plan protects the plan holder and their agents from civil or criminal liability. It also specifies that administrative violations of these plan requirements will not lead to criminal or civil actions, limiting enforcement to administrative fines collected by the relevant commission and preventing private lawsuits.
