Iowa SF419 regulates confinement feeding operations by prohibiting new construction and expansion of certain structures.

Iowa SF419 amends the Animal Agriculture Compliance Act to redefine confinement feeding operations to include partially roofed structures. The bill prohibits the construction or expansion of confinement feeding operation structures, including confinement buildings, manure storage structures, and egg washwater structures. An exception allows construction if the operation is a small animal feeding operation. The bill also does not prohibit completing construction if it began before the bill's effective date. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
