On May 26, 2026, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a new state law that modifies Minnesota's reporting requirements for products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals." The amendment updates Amara’s Law, Minnesota’s landmark legislation designed to phase out nonessential uses of PFAS in consumer and industrial products. What Has Changed? Under the revised law, manufacturers are required to report only those products that: Contain intentionally added PFAS; and Were manufactured after July 1, 2023; and Are sold, offered for sale, or distributed in Minnesota. Previously, the reporting requirement applied to all products containing intentionally added PFAS, regardless of when they were manufactured. This created significant compliance challenges, particularly for manufacturers managing legacy products and older inventory.

Description

The amendment reduces the reporting burden by excluding products manufactured before July 1, 2023, while preserving the state's broader objective of identifying and regulating PFAS in newer products entering the market. Manufacturers should review their product portfolios and supply chain data to determine which products remain subject to reporting requirements under the revised law. Next Steps Companies selling products in Minnesota should: Identify products containing intentionally added PFAS. Verify product manufacturing dates. Determine which products fall within the revised reporting scope. Engage suppliers to obtain necessary PFAS disclosures and supporting documentation. Prepare for submission ahead of the September 2026 reporting deadline.
