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 existing federal and state laws.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the existing exemptions for products governed by federal law, those regulated under specific sections, and the sale of used products remain unchanged. The effective date for this amendment is set for the day following its final enactment, ensuring that the new provisions are implemented promptly.
