18   proposed rules relating to animal feeding operations,
19   including construction permit requirements, were
20   published for notice and comment in the Iowa
21   Administrative Bulletin on November 8, 1995; Now
22   Therefore,
23     Be It Resolved By The House Of Representatives,
24   That the environmental protection commission is urged
25   to amend its proposed rule 567 _ 65.6(1)(b) to
26   provide that a person who otherwise would not be
27   required to obtain a construction permit for a
28   confinement feeding operation, other than a small
29   animal feeding operation as provided in 567 _
30   65.6(2), be required to obtain a construction permit
31   pursuant to House File 519 and rules adopted by the
32   commission, if an enforcement action, referred to the
33   attorney general's office, is pending against a
34   confinement feeding operation in which the person has
35   an interest; and
36     Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this
37   resolution be sent to the director of the department
38   of natural resources for presentation to the
