This bill mandates the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a program offering cost-share grants to eligible entities for retrofitting agricultural tractors with approved rollover protection structures (ROPS). These grants are designed to cover the costs associated with purchasing, transporting, and installing these crucial safety devices, which must include a seatbelt and meet specified safety standards. Eligible entities for these grants include agricultural producers and various eligible schools that provide agricultural instruction or training. The grant amount typically covers 70 percent of the eligible costs, but this percentage can be increased by the Secretary if the documented costs exceed $500, ensuring greater support for more expensive installations. The program will be administered by a competitively selected Program Administrator , a non-governmental organization responsible for identifying approved ROPS and eligible equipment. This administrator will also manage the application process and operate a public website and phone hotline to inform potential applicants about the grant opportunities and assist with applications. Funding is authorized at $725,000 annually from fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with specific allocations for grants, website promotion, and hotline operations.
