Requires the Pollution Control Agency to monitor livestock production facilities for violations of state hydrogen sulfide standards using citizen complaint protocols and portable monitoring equipment.

Exempts livestock production facilities from ambient air quality standards during manure removal and for 7 days after removal, with a maximum 21-day cumulative exemption per calendar year for facilities with more than 300 animal units.

Prohibits private or public nuisance claims related to livestock odor unless the facility violates hydrogen sulfide standards outside exempt periods and has not taken corrective actions directed by the Pollution Control Agency.

Establishes that agricultural operations cannot be sued for nuisance related to noise, air pollutants, or livestock odor if they comply with applicable state standards or have no measurable adverse impact.

Applies these protections to nuisance claims filed on or after August 1, 2015, and requires facility operators claiming exemptions to notify the Pollution Control Agency or county feedlot officer.
