On behalf of Senator Johnson, Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and Local Government, Senator Mathewson submitted the following report:
Mr. President: Your Committee on Agriculture and Local Government, to which was referred SCR 21, begs leave to report that it has considered the same and recommends that the Senate Committee Substitute, hereto attached, do pass.
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
WHEREAS, complying with regulations concerning these facilities is an expensive and difficult process; and
WHEREAS, there are currently more than five different proposals being debated in the Missouri General Assembly which contain provisions for changing the regulations on confined animal feeding operations in this state; and
WHEREAS, it is unfair to both the public and to the applicant farmers to continue permit processing for animal production facilities when the laws may change; and
WHEREAS, the fact that such requirements are constantly subject to change places the Department of Natural Resources in a very difficult position when trying to decide on what requirements to include in a permit:
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 not to issue any Class IA or IB swine handling waste facility construction permits for new operating locations, which were applied for after January 1, 1996 and which will handle more than 2,500 swine units; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of the Department of Natural Resources is requested to continue this moratorium until June 15, 1996; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate be instructed to prepare a properly inscribed copy of this resolution for the Director of the Department of Natural Resources.
