Bill Summary
Nonwoven disposable product labeling provided.
AI Summary
This bill establishes requirements for the labeling and advertising of nonwoven disposable products, such as wet wipes, that are sold in Minnesota. It defines key terms like "flushable, septic safe, or sewer safe" and sets standards for when a product can be labeled as such. The bill also imposes civil penalties for manufacturers who violate the labeling requirements and gives the state attorney general the authority to enforce the law. The bill includes some exceptions, such as for media outlets that advertise these products and for retailers and wholesalers who do not package or label the products themselves.
