Farm Equipment Safety Act
This bill, known as the Farm Equipment Safety Act, would remove certain agricultural machinery from federal emission standards under the Clean Air Act. It directly affects farmers and manufacturers of nonroad engines and vehicles used for farming purposes. The key provision adds a specific exemption to Section 213 of the Clean Air Act, allowing agricultural equipment to operate without meeting the emission limits that apply to other nonroad vehicles. The legislation does not change existing rules for other types of engines or vehicles, nor does it alter the overall structure of the Clean Air Act.
