The bill addresses environmental concerns related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by appropriating unspent funds from a previous allocation for the PFAS manufacturers fee work group. Specifically, it mandates that any remaining funds from this appropriation, after the work group's report is submitted, be redirected towards a new report on PFAS removal strategies. This appropriation is available until June 30, 2025.

Additionally, the bill requires the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to submit a comprehensive report by January 15, 2025, detailing recommendations for holding PFAS manufacturers accountable for the costs associated with removing PFAS from municipal wastewater facilities. The report must outline specific and actionable strategies, including any necessary legislation, and should incorporate options from the previous work group's findings. The bill emphasizes that the recommendations should not suggest further studies or reports, aiming for immediate and practical solutions to the PFAS issue.
