The bill appropriates $10,000,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture for the establishment of the Minnesota Made PFAS Alternative grants. This funding aims to support projects that develop safer, PFAS-free alternatives using products from rural Minnesota. 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 appropriation is a one-time allocation available until June 30, 2027.

Eligibility for the grants is limited to Minnesota-based applicants who can demonstrate the capacity to execute relevant projects. Preference is given to those with 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 maximum awards set at $5,000,000 and minimum awards at $2,000,000, and grant terms not exceeding one year.
