Bill > SF2768

This bill establishes a voluntary certified salt applicator program in Minnesota. It defines key terms such as "certified commercial applicator," "commercial applicator," and "deicer." The bill requires the Pollution Control Agency to develop a training program on best management practices for snow and ice removal and deicer application to protect water quality. The bill limits the liability of certified commercial applicators and property owners who use the approved best practices, but does not apply the same liability standards to non-certified commercial applicators. The bill also requires certified applicators to maintain records and report annually on the amounts and types of deicers used. The program is set to expire on August 1, 2029.
