Farmers would no longer need to meet certain federal pollution rules for their equipment.
This bill would change federal rules so that nonroad engines and vehicles used for farming would not have to meet specific Clean Air Act pollution standards. This means agricultural equipment like tractors and harvesters would be exempt from these emission rules. Both farmers and equipment manufacturers would be affected by this change.
Today, nonroad engines and vehicles, including those used for farming, must meet federal pollution standards under the Clean Air Act. If this bill becomes law, nonroad engines and vehicles used for agricultural purposes would be specifically exempted from these pollution standards.
