This 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 items sold or distributed for personal, commercial, or industrial use. 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 in the product, the quantity of PFAS, and manufacturer contact details. It allows manufacturers to submit information for a category of products rather than for each individual product, and mandates that they update this information whenever there are significant changes or upon request from the commissioner. The bill also prohibits the sale of products containing intentionally added PFAS if the required information has not been submitted by the manufacturer.
