Table saw import, manufacture, or sale limited.

This bill would prohibit businesses in Minnesota from importing, manufacturing, or selling table saws that do not meet specific safety standards. Under the new rules, a saw must be designed so that a test probe moving above the table cannot cut deeper than 3.5 millimeters when the blade is spinning. Companies that violate these requirements could face legal penalties and be sued for damages, while those unable to obtain necessary patents on fair terms would be exempt. The law is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027.
