AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Agriculture to give grants to farmers and certain agricultural schools to help pay for buying, shipping, and installing rollover protection structures, with seatbelts, on farm tractors. Grants would generally cover 70 percent of the cost, and the share could be raised when costs exceed $500. The Secretary would pick one nongovernmental organization through competitive bidding to run the program, review applications, and operate a public website and phone hotline. The bill authorizes $725,000 per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with $500,000 each year set aside for grants.
