The bill mandates a study on the presence of microplastics in meat and poultry sold in Minnesota, with a specific focus on ensuring public health and safety. To facilitate this study, the bill appropriates $1,500,000 from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of agriculture. The commissioner is required to collaborate with the commissioner of health and the University of Minnesota, and may also engage private laboratories or other entities as needed to conduct the research.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the commissioner must provide a report detailing the findings and recommendations of the study to the relevant legislative committees overseeing agriculture and health by February 1, 2026. This appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation, emphasizing the state's commitment to addressing potential health risks associated with microplastics in food products.
