Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to make a grant to an organization that uses the grant funds to reimburse the costs of purchasing and installing rollover protection structures for farm tractors.

Under the bill, an organization with a purpose of addressing human health and safety associated with rural and agricultural work, life, and environments receives the grant and must spend at least 70 percent of the grant funds to reimburse the costs of purchasing and installing rollover protection structures for farm tractors.

The bill provides that for each reimbursement made, the organization must pay 70 percent of the first $1,670 in purchase and installation costs and all of the costs in excess of $1,670.

The bill also requires the organization to report annually to DATCP on its expenditures of grant funds until all of the grant funds are expended.
