SB84

Delaware SB84 protects agricultural operations from being deemed nuisances if they have been in operation for over a year and comply with laws.

Delaware SB84 amends the Delaware Code to protect agricultural and forestry operations from being considered nuisances if they have been in operation for over a year and comply with all applicable state and federal laws. The bill nullifies local ordinances that would deem such operations as nuisances. It also stipulates that if a defendant wins a nuisance claim deemed frivolous, the plaintiff must pay the defendant's court costs and attorney fees. The bill applies to various agricultural activities, including cultivation, livestock production, and transportation of agricultural products.
