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 would require the Secretary of Agriculture to give grants to farmers and certain schools that teach agriculture to help pay for adding rollover protection structures, with seatbelts, to farm tractors. Grants would generally cover 70 percent of the cost to buy, transport, and install the structure, with a higher share if 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 would authorize $725,000 per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with $500,000 each year for grants.
