WHEREAS, agriculture is a dominant and important industry in Missouri, one which is critical to the well-being of all Missourians; and
WHEREAS, animal production in Missouri, including swine production, is growing and changing dramatically; and
WHEREAS, the regulation of large, confined animal production facilities is important both to public health and to the environment; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Missouri Senate of the Eighty-eighth General Assembly, the House of Representatives concurring therein, that the Director of the Department of Natural Resources be requested to not proceed with processing any applications for wet handling waste facility permits in Class IA or IB which were filed after January 1, 1996; and
