Cedar County Commission v. Governor Michael Parson

Summary

The Court affirmed summary judgment rejecting challenges to amendments restricting county regulation of agricultural operations. It held that the amendments do not conflict with the Right-to-Farm Amendment, that the clear-title challenge failed, and that applying the amendments to ordinances in effect after the amendments’ effective date was not impermissibly retroactive. The Court further held that Regulation 6 was invalid because its requirements were “in addition to,” or otherwise different from, requirements imposed by identified state laws or regulations.
