Bill > SF376

This bill addresses consumer safety by modifying existing regulations and introducing new requirements for menstrual products in Minnesota. It prohibits the sale of menstrual products containing arsenic or chemicals of high concern, expanding the existing list of product categories regulated for toxic substances. Manufacturers will be required to disclose synthetic ingredients on product labels and, if requested by state commissioners, provide detailed testing results demonstrating the absence or precise quantity of lead, arsenic, or chemicals of high concern. The bill empowers the commissioners of the Pollution Control Agency, commerce, and health to coordinate enforcement efforts, with the ability to request information from manufacturers and potentially impose fees to cover implementation costs. The legislation allows for future rulemaking to identify additional product categories that may be prohibited, with a timeline for implementation between 2027 and 2032, and prioritizes protecting the state's environment and natural resources. Manufacturers found in violation will be required to notify sellers and potentially face legal consequences, while the bill includes provisions to ensure compliance and protect consumer health.
