This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to modify the requirements for manufacturers regarding products containing intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Specifically, it changes the deadline for manufacturers to submit information about such products from January 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027. The bill outlines the information that must be provided, including product descriptions, the purpose and quantity of PFAS used, and manufacturer contact details. Additionally, it clarifies that the submission requirements do not apply to certain products listed under subdivision 5, paragraph (f), which identifies specific categories of products where the use of PFAS is considered currently unavoidable.

Furthermore, the bill establishes prohibitions on the sale of various products containing intentionally added PFAS, effective January 1, 2025, and outlines conditions under which the use of PFAS may be deemed unavoidable. It includes a comprehensive list of products that cannot be sold if they contain PFAS, while allowing exceptions for products with PFAS in electronic or internal components. The bill also empowers the commissioner to identify additional products that may be prohibited and sets a timeline for these prohibitions to take effect. The effective date for the changes in this bill is the day following final enactment.
