1 2 BY ALONS, KETTERING, RAYHONS, VAN ENGELENHOVEN,
1 3 JOHNSON, KLEMME, and BAUDLER
1 4 A Resolution requesting the enactment of a federal tax
1 5 credit to offset the potential fiscal impact of new
1 6 federal regulations pertaining to manure control
1 7 structures.
1 8 WHEREAS, agriculture traditionally has been the
1 9 foundation of this nation's economic prosperity,
1 10 providing the basis for a system of production
1 11 unmatched in the world for its abundant and efficient
1 12 production of food, feed grains, and animal products,
1 13 and contributing billions of dollars in revenue each
1 14 year to the nation's economy from export sales; and
1 15 WHEREAS, the health of the agricultural economy
1 16 depends in great part on the scope of federal
1 17 regulation of all aspects of agriculture and
1 18 agricultural markets; and
1 19 WHEREAS, the possible imposition of regulations
1 20 promulgated by the United States Environmental
1 21 Protection Agency requiring animal feeding operations
1 22 to install new manure control structures or undertake
1 23 other new manure control practices would have a direct
1 24 effect on the ongoing viability of the animal products
1 25 market; and
1 26 WHEREAS, the fiscal impact of the possible
1 27 imposition may be partially offset by a federal tax
1 28 credit for those individuals or businesses charged
1 29 with meeting any new federal manure control
1 30 regulations; NOW THEREFORE,
2 1 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
2 2 That the House of Representatives requests that a
2 3 federal tax credit be enacted in the event that the
2 4 United States Environmental Protection Agency imposes
2 5 new regulations requiring the installation of new
2 6 manure control structures or the undertaking of other
2 7 new manure control practices; and
2 8 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of this
2 9 Resolution be sent by the Chief Clerk of the House of
2 10 Representatives to the President of the United States,
2 11 the President of the Senate of the United States, the
2 12 Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United
2 13 States, the United States Secretary of Agriculture,
2 14 the United States Secretary of the Treasury, the
2 15 Chairperson of the United States Senate Committee on
2 16 Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, the Chairperson
2 17 of the United States House of Representatives
2 18 Committee on Agriculture, the Chairperson of the
2 19 United States Senate Committee on Finance, the
2 20 Chairperson of the United States House of
2 21 Representatives Committee on Ways and Means, and
2 22 members of Iowa's congressional delegation.
