CAFO
Bill Action Alert
Stop
HJR 61, HB 1324 & SB 490
Please
Call Your Senator & Other “Key Senators” Below
Pro-CAFO
House Bills would exempt all
existing corporate controlled factory farms (including some of the biggest in the
country) from any additional future state standards. This is at the
expense of farm families, personal property rights, independent livestock
producers and the environment.
Pro-CAFO
Senate Bill would severely
limit the ability of family farmers and rural landowners to protect their
private property and farms.
· HJR 61
& HB 1324
(sponsored by Representative Loehner) exempts all
existing concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs),
including some of the biggest corporate ag polluters
in the state, from any future state standards that would protect farmers,
landowners and the environment from the negative impacts of factory farms.
Furthermore, HJR 61 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would cement
this pro-CAFO language into our constitution. These bills
will be sent to the Senate very soon. (click blue links for bill language)
· SB 490
(sponsored by Senator Munzlinger) takes away constitutional
rights of farmers and landowners to protect their property
& property rights through the court system. Corporate lobbyists have
convinced some legislators of the need to protect a very small minority of
corporate industrial livestock operations at the expense of the property rights
of the majority. (click blue link for bill language)
