H.F. No. 1024 is a proposed legislative bill in Minnesota that aims to amend the existing law by defining what constitutes an "animal feedlot" in the state's statutes specifically under section 116.06. The bill specifies that an animal feedlot is:

1. A lot, building, or combination of lots and buildings used for the confined feeding, breeding, raising, or holding of animals where a. Manure may accumulate, or b. The concentration of animals prevents the maintenance of vegetative cover within the enclosure.

The bill additionally clarifies that animal feedlots include open lots used for feeding and rearing poultry, with an exception made for any lot that contains 12 or fewer chickens, which would not be considered an animal feedlot. Also, it specifically excludes pastures from being classified as feedlots.

The bill was introduced by Representatives McDonald, Hudson, Rarick, Gillman, Dotseth, among others, and has been referred to the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy for further discussion.
