WASHINGTON – Congressman Bill Owens voted in favor of legislation that would rein in regulations from the Environment Protection Agency on family farms.
The Farm Dust Regulation Prevention Act would prevent the EPA from issuing new rules that regulate “farm dust.” The legislation passed the House of Representatives 268-150.
The bipartisan bill is aimed at ensuring that no new regulations will be written regarding coarse particulate matter on farms, also called “farm dust.”
According to Owens, new regulations intended to control the dust could prove costly for New York farmers to implement, which would hinder economic development and food security of the region.
