HF 2803 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain energy generating facilities required to be certified as child labor free, and certain products required to be certified as child labor free.

HF 2803 requires solar and wind energy facilities in Minnesota to be certified as child labor free before receiving permits, and mandates that manufacturers certify electric vehicle batteries, solar panels, and wind systems sold in the state contain no child labor in their production. The bill applies directly to energy developers seeking permits and manufacturers of these specific clean energy products. It defines "child labor" using International Labor Organization standards and requires certification documentation for compliance. Violations would trigger penalties under Minnesota's existing consumer protection laws (section 325D.56). The law focuses on supply chain transparency for renewable energy products sold within Minnesota.
