A bill for an act relating to animal feeding operations by providing for certain air and water quality regulations, including when two or more related confinement feeding operations are deemed to be a single operation, making penalties applicable, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

This bill clarifies when multiple livestock feeding operations must be treated as a single entity for environmental regulations. It defines "related operations" as facilities within 2,500 feet sharing manure systems, roads, water wells, or property ownership under common management. Operations meeting these criteria must combine their size calculations for regulatory purposes, including compliance with distance requirements for expansion. The law specifically prevents expanding related operations without meeting applicable distance standards. It directly affects large-scale livestock farms operating multiple facilities under shared management or infrastructure.
