The proposed bill aims to prohibit the use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in juvenile products in Minnesota. It introduces a new section in the Minnesota Statutes, specifically section 116.943, which defines key terms related to juvenile products, including what constitutes a juvenile product and excludes certain items such as medical devices and adult mattresses. The bill explicitly states that no new juvenile products containing PFAS may be manufactured, sold, or distributed within the state, although the sale or resale of used juvenile products is exempt from this prohibition.

Additionally, the bill outlines enforcement mechanisms, granting the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency the authority to enforce these regulations in coordination with the commissioners of commerce and health. It mandates that individuals provide relevant information to demonstrate compliance when requested by the commissioner. The provisions of this bill are set to take effect on January 1, 2025.
