A 993 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Creates the concentrated animal feeding operation environmental compliance revolving loan program

This bill creates a revolving loan program to help large-scale livestock farms cover costs for environmental compliance, such as developing and implementing nutrient management plans to prevent pollution from runoff. The program provides loans for planning, engineering, construction, and related expenses, with repayments replenishing the fund for future use. Eligible farm operators must apply through participating lenders, and the state agency sets eligibility criteria in consultation with the Agriculture Department. The self-sustaining structure ensures ongoing support for farms meeting environmental standards without direct state funding.
