The bill appropriates $10,000,000 from the general fund for the Minnesota Made PFAS Alternative grants, aimed at supporting projects that develop safer, PFAS-free alternatives using products from rural Minnesota. The funds are designated for fiscal year 2026 and are available until June 30, 2027. Grant recipients are required to submit a report detailing the use of funds, job creation, and associated wage and benefit information within 30 days of fund expenditure. The commissioner of agriculture will share these reports with relevant legislative committees and the Legislative Reference Library.

Eligibility for the grants includes a 30-day application window, with preference given to applicants demonstrating expertise in fiber technologies, material science, and coatings, as well as the ability to produce products that utilize agricultural coproducts without competing for food resources. The bill outlines that grant proceeds can be used to expand the manufacturing and processing of agriculture-related products and PFAS-free alternatives, with a maximum grant award of $5,000,000 and a minimum of $2,000,000, while grant terms are limited to one year.
