To require the Secretary of Agriculture to make cost-share grants for retrofitting agricultural tractors with rollover protection structures, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to provide cost-share grants covering 70% of the costs for agricultural producers and eligible schools to retrofit tractors with approved rollover protection structures (safety frames that prevent injury if a tractor rolls over). It defines eligible schools as those offering agricultural training, including vocational programs, colleges, and secondary schools with ag-focused curricula. Grants cover purchasing, transporting, and installing these safety structures, with increased coverage for costs exceeding $500. Funding of $725,000 annually (2027-2031) is authorized, with $500,000 allocated directly to grants and the rest for administrative support.
