Certain components in textile furnishings and upholstered furniture exempted from PFAS prohibitions.
HF 2947 exempts electrical, electronic, or mechanical parts in upholstered furniture and textile furnishings from Minnesota's PFAS prohibitions until January 1, 2032. This directly affects furniture manufacturers and retailers who use these components in products sold in Minnesota. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 116.943 to create this temporary exemption, allowing continued use of such parts while broader PFAS restrictions apply to other products. The exemption does not change other PFAS restrictions in Minnesota law.
