Certain lead solder in products prohibitions delayment provision

Related bill: HF1871

AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 325E.3892, subdivision 2, delaying prohibitions on certain lead solder in products. Specifically, it exempts products containing internal circuit boards with lead solder from the prohibition until January 1, 2028. However, manufacturers of exempted key fobs must submit a report every six months to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, detailing:

  1. Barriers to compliance,
  2. Progress toward compliance, and
  3. The most recent timeline for achieving compliance.

The bill maintains existing restrictions on lead and cadmium concentrations in covered products unless otherwise preempted by federal law.
