Description
HF 81, enacted as part of 2025 1st Special Session SF3 (Chapter 1), exempts off-highway vehicles, snowmobiles, and electric-assisted bicycles from the definition of juvenile products under Amara's Law (Minn. Stat. 116.943). This removes these products from the January 1, 2025 PFAS prohibition that applies to juvenile products containing intentionally added PFAS. The exemption addresses safety-related items and clothing used by juveniles operating all-terrain vehicles and dirt bikes.
