Off-highway vehicles, snowmobiles, and electric-assisted bicycles from prohibition on PFAS in certain juvenile products
This bill amends Minnesota law to exempt off-highway vehicles, snowmobiles, and electric-assisted bicycles from the definition of "juvenile products" under PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) restrictions. By removing these items from the list of products covered by PFAS prohibitions in juvenile products (defined as items for children under 12), manufacturers of these vehicles will no longer be subject to the state's PFAS rules for these specific items. The change directly affects manufacturers and sellers of off-highway vehicles, snowmobiles, and e-bikes by excluding them from existing PFAS regulations. This is a definitional adjustment, not a new policy, and focuses solely on clarifying which products are covered by the current PFAS restrictions.
