Summary
This bill amends a section of the Right to Farm Act to clarify that an ordinance or resolution of any unit of local government that makes the operation of an agricultural operation or agricultural facility a nuisance, or provides for abatement of it as a nuisance, will not apply when the agricultural operation
was established prior to the date of adoption of any such ordinance or resolution, essentially grandfathering operations that pre-exist the ordinance.
A possible concern regarding this bill might be the added burden placed on local government by language that appears to make it impossible for the local government to declare any existing agricultural operation or facility a nuisance.
