A bill 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 U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide cost-share grants covering 70% of the expenses for farmers and eligible schools to retrofit agricultural tractors with rollover protection structures (ROPS) - safety cages that prevent injury if a tractor flips. It directly affects agricultural producers and specific educational institutions, including vocational schools, colleges with agricultural programs, and secondary schools offering agricultural training. The grants cover costs for purchasing, transporting, and installing ROPS that meet SAE safety standards and include seatbelts, with higher coverage if costs exceed $500. Funding of $725,000 annually from 2027-2031 will support these grants, administered through a designated program manager.
