Plain-language change summary

The latest version of HB 913 adds important details about the regulations for dry litter poultry operations in North Carolina. It specifies that operators with 30,000 or more birds must create and submit an animal waste management plan annually to ensure proper waste handling. Additionally, the bill allocates $25,000 to help educate and assist poultry facility owners in meeting these new reporting requirements. This is significant because it aims to enhance environmental protection and community health by improving oversight of poultry waste management practices.
