IPPA filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to review the decision, which is the petition the court denied Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird led more than 20 attorneys general from other ag-producing states on an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/DocketPDF\/24\/24-728\/340376\/20250129084901950_01.28%20-%20Iowa%20Pork%20Producers%20v.%20Bonta.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">amici curiae<\/a> in support of the IPPA appeal to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>Bird said in a statement Monday she was disappointed by the Supreme Court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaws like this hurt Iowa\u2019s rural communities and make it more difficult for Americans to enjoy the world-class pork products they have come to love and expect out of our state,\u201d Bird said.<\/p>\n<p>Bird said she would continue to fight against similar laws, including a Massachusetts law against which the<a href=\"https:\/\/iowacapitaldispatch.com\/2024\/10\/03\/iowa-ag-leads-continued-fight-against-massachusetts-animal-confinement-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"> attorney general also led an amici curiae<\/a> with other states, urging for an appeal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStates like California and Massachusetts should not dictate Iowa farming practices,\u201d Bird said.<\/p>\n<p>The California law, which went into effect in 2024, stipulates that regardless of where an animal was raised, it must comply with the state regulation on animal confinement in order to be sold in California. The law stipulates sow enclosures must have at least 24 square feet of room. The law, which passed as a state referendum, was supported by animal rights organizations that say this spacing would give the animals enough space to turn around freely.<\/p>\n<p>The west-coast state is a major pork consumer, meaning its laws have a big impact on pork production across the country and in states like Iowa, which produces the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ers.usda.gov\/data-products\/charts-of-note\/chart-detail?chartId=108733\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">most<\/a> pork in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Pork producers said the law would disrupt the pork supply chain and raise costs at the consumer level, as producers retrofit their facilities to comply with the law.<\/p>\n<p>Eldon McAfee, counsel for IPPA, said the organization was \u201cdisappointed, obviously\u201d by the decision and that many pork producers \u201cdon\u2019t understand\u201d how a California law \u201ccan be enforced here in Iowa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McAfee said producers believe this should be a marketplace decision driven by consumer and producer choice, not an enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not believe it can be mandated by law, we believe it is unconstitutional,\u201d McAfee said. \u201cBut the court disagreed in the NPPC case and declined to accept this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McAfee referenced a<a href=\"https:\/\/iowacapitaldispatch.com\/2022\/03\/28\/u-s-supreme-court-will-hear-dispute-over-californias-pork-sale-restrictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"> Supreme Court decision<\/a> against the National Pork Producers Council\u2019s petition of the California law.<\/p>\n<p>He said while the court did not issue an explanation of the decision, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/search.aspx?filename=\/docket\/docketfiles\/html\/public\/24-728.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">docket entries<\/a> show justices discussed the case seven times before eventually declining the petition, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh dissenting.<\/p>\n<p>McAfee said the next step forward is legislative action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe courts have stated the basic premise that it is the federal government, Congress, that regulates interstate commerce,\u201d McAfee said. \u201cWe believe the best option is federal legislation \u2026 to prevent this type of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra, a Republican from Iowa, has also been a vocal opponent of Proposition 12, working with other Republicans in Iowa and other states to advance legislation the past several years that would supersede the state law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis mandate on Iowa hog farmers increases pork prices for families, makes hog farming needlessly more expensive, harms our rural communities, and threatens our food security,\u201d Feenstra said in a statement Monday. \u201cI remain committed to getting a new, five-year Farm Bill signed into law that repeals Prop 12 and delivers certainty and clarity for our hog farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> figure, .tipContainer, .socContainer, .subscribeShortcodeContainer, .donateContainer {display:none !important;} .youtubeContainer { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; padding-top: 30px; height: 0; overflow: hidden; margin-bottom:12px; } .youtubeContainer iframe, .video-container object, .video-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100% !important; height: 100%; margin: 12px 0px !important; } .newsroomSidebar {width:35%;max-width:35%;padding:10px;border-top:solid 2px black;background-color:#d3d3d3;float:right;margin-left:50px;} .snrsInfoboxSubContainer {padding:10px;border-top:solid 2px black;background-color:#d3d3d3;} .halfwidth {float:right;width:50%;max-width:50%;} .indent2Container {margin-left: 1em;margin-bottom:1em; border-left: solid 1px black;padding-left: 2em;} @media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {.newsroomSidebar {max-width:95%;width:95%;margin-left:4%} .halfwidth {float:none;width:100%;max-width:100%;} }<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/iowacapitaldispatch.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Iowa Capital Dispatch<\/a> is part of States Newsroom, a nonprofit news network supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.
