This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 116.943, subdivision 1, to exempt off-highway vehicles, snowmobiles, and electric-assisted bicycles from existing prohibitions on the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in certain juvenile products. The bill introduces new definitions for "electric-assisted bicycle" and "snowmobile," aligning them with existing state definitions, while also clarifying the scope of products affected by the PFAS regulations.

In addition to the new definitions, the bill modifies the existing language to remove references to specific juvenile products that are now exempt from the PFAS prohibitions. This includes the deletion of terms related to various children's products, thereby broadening the exemption to include the specified vehicles. The changes are intended to facilitate the use of these vehicles while maintaining regulatory oversight on PFAS in other consumer products. The bill is set to take effect the day following its final enactment.
