Electronic and internal components exemption from certain PFAS prohibition

Related bill: HF1868

AI Generated Summary

This Minnesota bill (S.F. No. 2409) proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 116.943, subdivision 8. The key change is the addition of an exemption for electronic and internal components of products from prohibitions related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) until January 1, 2032.

The bill maintains existing exemptions, including: 1. Products where federal law preempts state authority on PFAS regulations. 2. Products already regulated under Minnesota statutes 325F.072 or 325F.075. 3. The sale or resale of used products. 4. Medical devices, drugs, prosthetic or orthotic devices, and any products used in medical settings regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

If passed, this bill would temporarily allow electronic and internal components of products to contain PFAS despite broader state restrictions, delaying enforcement until 2032.
