The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 116.943, subdivision 8, to provide specific exemptions from certain prohibitions related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Notably, it introduces a new exemption for electronic and internal components of products, which will be exempt from the prohibitions outlined in subdivision 5 until January 1, 2032. This addition aims to address concerns regarding the regulation of PFAS in electronic components while maintaining compliance with federal standards.

Additionally, the bill clarifies existing exemptions, including those for products governed by federal law, certain regulated products, and the sale of used products. It also specifies that the prohibitions do not apply to medical devices or drugs regulated by the FDA. The effective date for this amendment is set for the day following its final enactment.
