Iowa SF2262 amends confinement feeding operation regulations, including defining partially roofed structures and prohibiting new constructions.

Iowa SF2262 amends the Animal Agriculture Compliance Act to redefine "confinement feeding operation" to include partially roofed structures. It prohibits the construction or expansion of confinement feeding operation structures, except for those part of a small animal feeding operation. The bill also imposes civil penalties for violations of air and water quality regulations. The moratorium on new structures ends 30 days after the Department of Natural Resources determines there are fewer than 100 impaired water bodies in Iowa. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
