Bill > SF2164

This bill modifies Minnesota's regulations regarding PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), a class of fluorinated chemicals, by making two key changes. First, the bill removes the words "commercial" and "industrial" from the definition of a product, which could potentially broaden the scope of products subject to PFAS reporting requirements. Second, the bill extends the deadline for manufacturers to report PFAS-containing products from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2028. Under the modified law, manufacturers of products sold in Minnesota that intentionally include PFAS must submit detailed information to the state's Pollution Control Agency, including a product description, the specific purpose of PFAS in the product, the quantity of PFAS used (identified by chemical registry number), and manufacturer contact information. Manufacturers must update this information when significant changes occur or when requested by the commissioner. The bill maintains existing provisions that prohibit selling products with intentionally added PFAS if the manufacturer has not provided the required information, ensuring transparency about the use of these potentially harmful chemicals in consumer products.
