Prohibitions on certain lead solder in products delayed.
HF 1871 delays the prohibition on lead solder in products containing internal circuit boards until January 1, 2028, instead of the original 2026 deadline. This specifically affects manufacturers of products like electronics with circuit boards (e.g., key fobs), requiring them to submit biannual reports to the Pollution Control Agency detailing compliance barriers, progress, and updated timelines. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 325E.3892 to extend the delay period while maintaining the existing limits on lead (0.009% by weight) and cadmium (0.0075%) in covered products. The delay applies only to products with internal circuit boards, not other lead-containing items. The change is effective upon enactment.
