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 "intentionally added," and outlines the scope of the prohibition, which applies to any food manufacturer, supplier, or distributor. They are barred from manufacturing, selling, or distributing food packages that contain any amount of ortho-phthalates in various components, including inks, adhesives, and coatings.

Additionally, the bill establishes enforcement mechanisms, allowing the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency to enforce compliance with the new regulations in coordination with the commissioners of health and commerce. It mandates that individuals provide relevant information upon request to demonstrate compliance. The provisions of this bill will take effect one year after its final enactment.
