SB 780

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 protective 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 protective 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.
