AI Summary
This bill establishes new requirements for the labeling of nonwoven disposable products sold in Minnesota. It defines key terms like "flushable, septic safe, or sewer safe" and sets standards for when a product can be advertised or labeled as such. The bill prohibits the sale of any nonwoven disposable product that does not comply with the newest industry labeling code approved by the Pollution Control Agency. Manufacturers who violate these provisions face civil penalties, though the bill provides some exceptions for broadcasters, publishers, wholesalers, and retailers. The new requirements take effect on August 1, 2022.
