Definition of currently avoidable use in the pesticide control chapter amended.

This bill amends Minnesota's pesticide control laws to clarify the definition of "currently unavoidable use" for PFAS chemicals. It directly affects agricultural regulators, pesticide manufacturers, and farmers by establishing criteria for when certain PFAS applications are considered necessary. The key provision states that unavoidable use applies when a PFAS is essential for health, safety, or societal functioning and no reasonable alternatives exist, while also allowing consideration of pest resistance and health impacts of alternatives. This change provides clearer guidance on when PFAS use can be permitted despite environmental concerns.
