Deadline UpdateProposedProposal

A proposed bill seeks to extend the deadline for PFAS reporting by manufacturers from January 1, 2026 to July 1, 2027. It also proposes clarification of “currently unavoidable uses” (CUU), which would allow PFAS use in certain essential applications such as medical, aerospace, electronics, and infrastructure. The proposal continues to maintain strict prohibitions on PFAS in selected consumer products (e.g., cosmetics, cookware, textiles) while introducing clearer exemptions for critical industries. Additionally, it outlines a future goal (by 2032) where PFAS would be broadly restricted unless classified as unavoidable.

Description

HF 4257 is a 2026 legislative amendment proposed to delay Minnesota’s PFAS reporting deadline from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027, for products manufactured after that date. It aims to clarify "Currently Unavoidable Uses" (CUU) by explicitly exempting essential industries—like semiconductors, electronics, and motor vehicles—from future sales bans. This bill provides manufacturers more time to map complex supply chains while ensuring critical industrial components remain compliant.
