The proposed bill aims to prohibit the intentional use of ortho-phthalates in food packaging within the state of Minnesota. It introduces new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325F, specifically creating a section titled "[325F.183] ORTHO-PHTHALATES IN FOOD PACKAGING." The bill defines key terms such as "food manufacturer," "food package," and "ortho-phthalates," and establishes that food manufacturers, suppliers, or distributors are not allowed to manufacture, sell, or distribute food packages that contain any amount of ortho-phthalates intentionally added to inks, dyes, pigments, adhesives, stabilizers, coatings, plasticizers, or other additives.

Additionally, the bill outlines enforcement mechanisms, stating that the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency will be responsible for enforcing this prohibition in coordination with the commissioners of health and commerce. The bill mandates that individuals provide relevant information to demonstrate compliance upon request from the commissioner. The new regulations will take effect one year after the bill's final enactment.
