Plain-language change summary

The legislative amendment to Bill AB 31 reduced the funding allocated for grants aimed at helping farmers purchase and install rollover protection structures for tractors by $100,000 for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 fiscal years. Additionally, the amendment repealed certain statutory sections related to these grants and set a clear timeline for when parts of the bill will take effect. These changes are significant because they lessen the financial support available for enhancing safety measures on farms, which could impact the health and safety of agricultural workers.
