Bill > SF681

This bill modifies Minnesota's existing consumer product safety regulations by removing keys, key chains, and key rings from the list of "covered products" subject to lead and cadmium prohibitions. Specifically, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 325E.3892, which regulates potentially hazardous substances in consumer goods. Previously, keys, key chains, and key rings were considered a category of products that required scrutiny for lead and cadmium content. Under this amendment, these items will no longer be classified as a covered product, effectively exempting them from the existing prohibition on lead and cadmium. The bill essentially narrows the scope of products that must comply with these safety regulations, potentially giving manufacturers and retailers more flexibility in producing and selling these specific items. The change appears to be a technical adjustment to the existing consumer product safety framework, streamlining the list of regulated products while maintaining restrictions on other consumer goods like jewelry, toys, cosmetics, and clothing.
