The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 116.943, to exempt commercial and industrial products from certain restrictions related to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It modifies the definitions of various products and clarifies that the term "product" now includes commercial and industrial items, as indicated by the insertion of "or" and the deletion of "commercial, or industrial" in the definition. Additionally, the bill extends the deadline for manufacturers to submit information regarding products containing intentionally added PFAS from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2028.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the information that manufacturers must provide to the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency, including product descriptions, the purpose of PFAS use, and the quantity of PFAS present. It allows manufacturers to submit information for a category of products rather than for each individual product, streamlining the reporting process. The bill also establishes that products containing intentionally added PFAS cannot be sold in the state if the manufacturer has not complied with the information submission requirements.
