It requires the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to develop a training program that promotes 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 when they follow the approved best practices. It also requires certified applicators to maintain records and report their deicer usage annually. The bill is effective August 1, 2023 and expires on August 1, 2030.
