Bill > SF1389

This bill allocates $1.5 million in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Commissioner of Agriculture to conduct a comprehensive study on microplastics (tiny plastic particles) in meat and poultry products sold within the state. The study will be performed in collaboration with the Commissioner of Health and the University of Minnesota, and the agriculture commissioner may engage private laboratories or other entities to assist with the research. By February 1, 2026, the commissioner is required to submit a report detailing the study's findings and recommendations to the legislative committees responsible for agriculture and health. The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation, indicating this is a specific, time-limited research initiative aimed at understanding the potential presence and implications of microplastics in Minnesota's meat and poultry supply.
