Date by which manufacturers are required to submit information about products containing intentionally added PFAS modified, and use of PFAS in products as currently unavoidable uses clarified.
This bill modifies Minnesota's regulations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by changing the deadline for manufacturers to submit product information from January 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027, and clarifying which products containing PFAS are exempt from sales restrictions. It requires manufacturers selling products with intentionally added PFAS to provide detailed information about the chemicals used, including chemical names and quantities, to state officials, with options to report by product category rather than individually. The law also establishes a phased ban on selling certain PFAS-containing items like carpets, cookware, and cosmetics starting in 2025, while allowing exemptions for specific products such as medical devices, testing equipment, and HVAC systems where PFAS use is deemed unavoidable. Additionally, the bill gives state officials authority to identify additional product categories for prohibition and to determine which uses of PFAS qualify as unavoidable, with a complete ban on all intentionally added PFAS products scheduled for 2032 unless exemptions apply.
