The bill S.F. No. 2164, introduced in the Minnesota Senate, seeks to amend Minnesota's statutes related to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by making the following changes:

1. Exempting Commercial and Industrial Products:

   • Certain commercial and industrial products will be exempt from existing PFAS restrictions.

2. Modifying PFAS Reporting Requirements:

   • Extends the deadline for manufacturers to report PFAS use in products from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2028.
   • Requires manufacturers of products containing intentionally added PFAS that are sold in Minnesota to report a variety of information to the Commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency, including:
     • Product description and identification codes (UPC, SKU).
     • Purpose of PFAS use.
     • Amount of PFAS used, reported with an exact quantity or within an approved range.
     • Manufacturer’s contact details.
     • Any additional requested information.
   • Allows manufacturers to submit reports for categories or types of products rather than each individual product with approval from the commissioner.
   • Mandates manufacturers to update their reports if significant changes occur or when required by the commissioner.
   • Prohibits the sale or distribution of products with intentionally added PFAS in Minnesota if the manufacturer fails to submit the required information.

The bill aims to provide regulatory flexibility for industrial and commercial products while still tracking and potentially limiting PFAS use in consumer products.
