Specifically, the bill makes individuals engaged in farm work eligible for assistance under the FRSAN Program.

The bill also expands the types of programs eligible for FRSAN grants to include those that deliver peer-to-peer mental health support to individuals who are engaged in farming, ranching, farm work, and other agriculture-related occupations.
