AI Summary
This bill, titled "Specific chemical compound found in tear gas sale and usage prohibition provision," aims to ban the sale, purchase, use, and manufacture of a specific chemical compound known as orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile, which is identified by its Chemical Abstract Services Registry Number 2698-41-1 and is used in tear gas.

Additionally, it mandates that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency provide guidance on the proper disposal of any existing supplies of this chemical or products containing it. The bill will become effective the day after it is officially enacted.
