Farm Equipment Safety Act

HR 6878, titled the "Farm Equipment Safety Act," proposes to amend the Clean Air Act by exempting nonroad farm engines and vehicles from federal emission standards. This change would directly affect farmers and agricultural businesses using equipment like tractors and harvesters, removing the requirement to meet current air pollution standards for such machinery. The key provision adds a new exemption clause to the Clean Air Act, explicitly stating that emission standards do not apply to nonroad vehicles used for agricultural purposes. This bill would reduce regulatory requirements for farm equipment emissions, without addressing equipment safety features.
