Minnesota Pollution Control Agency guidance states that products manufactured before July 1, 2023 are excluded from PFAS Minnesota reporting. Initial reports are due September 15, 2026. This changes reporting scope by manufacturing date and should be reviewed separately from any reporting-deadline update.
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.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has established reporting requirements for products containing intentionally added PFAS under Minnesota’s Amara’s Law. Manufacturers of products sold, offered for sale, or distributed in Minnesota that contain intentionally added PFAS must submit detailed product and chemical information to the state. Initial reports are due by: September 15, 2026
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.
SF 4758, introduced March 20, 2026, proposes to exempt agricultural products and equipment from certain regulations governing products containing PFAS under Minn. Stat. 116.943. The bill would amend subdivisions 3, 7, and 8 of section 116.943 and repeal certain definitions. This follows industry concerns about PFAS regulations impacting agricultural equipment and pesticide products.
HF 4257, introduced March 12, 2026, proposes to modify the PFAS product reporting deadline from January 1, 2026 to 'Beginning July 1, 2027' and limit reporting to products manufactured on or after that date. The bill also clarifies the Currently Unavoidable Use (CUU) provisions, exempting products designated as CUU from reporting requirements. Industry stakeholders including AHRI, RVIA, and AHI have submitted support letters citing compliance complexity and the need for additional time to gather supply chain information.
Under Amara’s Law, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) requires manufacturers of products containing intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to report product and chemical information to the state. The MPCA has extended the initial reporting deadline to allow additional time for manufacturers to collect supply chain data and prepare disclosures. The initial PFAS report is due by July 1, 2026, with subsequent reports required annually by February 1.
MPCA adopted Minnesota Rules Chapter 7026 ('Products containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances; reporting') after a two-year rulemaking process. The final rule establishes detailed reporting requirements for products containing intentionally added PFAS, including definitions for key terms, a $800 one-time initial reporting fee per manufacturer, extension and waiver request processes, and annual update requirements by February 1 each year. Required report elements include product descriptions with UPC/SKU codes, PFAS chemicals used, concentrations by homogeneous material, and manufacturer contact details.
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.
Minnesota’s food licensing law revisions were signed on May 23, 2025 and, per MDA, are effective starting August 1, 2025. MDA indicates the changes apply immediately to all new food businesses and will apply to existing businesses upon license renewal. Compliance teams supporting vendors operating retail food establishments in Minnesota should review licensing category/eligibility, application/renewal workflows, and ensure readiness ahead of the August 1, 2025 effective date and the next renewal cycle.
