This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 325E.3892, to modify the prohibition of lead and cadmium in certain consumer products. It introduces new definitions for various consumer items, including jewelry, toys, cosmetics, and school supplies, while specifying exceptions for certain products like ink pens and mechanical pencils. Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "pastels" and removes the term "keys" from the list of regulated items.

Furthermore, the bill establishes an age restriction for the sale of paint or pastels containing cadmium, stipulating that retailers may only sell these products to individuals who can provide valid proof of being at least 18 years old. The new provisions are set to take effect the day following final enactment.
