CHALLENGE TO CAFO MASTER MATRIX
Six Republican members of the Admin Rules committee will be filing an objection to the DNR rules on the master matrix, claiming it violates the laws' intent of one minimum score. This objection comes a week before the law is to become effective. What this means, according to the Administrative Rules Review Committee Powers, if the master matrix is challenged in court, the objection strips away the presumption of validity that is normally accorded administrative rules, and forces DNR to prove the legality of the master matrix. The next Admin Rules committee meeting will be Friday, Feb 21 at 8:45 AM.
