Identification and reporting on priority PFAS requirement

This bill requires Minnesota's Pollution Control Agency to identify and report on emerging PFAS chemicals that could harm human health or the environment, with updates submitted every three years. It mandates the development of a management protocol by January 2028 that considers how to regulate these substances and places pollution control costs on the sources that create them. The legislation also directs the agency to establish water quality standards for PFOA and PFOS by the same deadline, specifically covering Class 2 waters. The bill includes provisions for public review and comment on the management protocol before it is finalized.
