Identification and reporting on priority PFAS required, PFAS management protocol required, and rulemaking required.

This bill requires Minnesota's Pollution Control Agency to identify and report on emerging PFAS chemicals that could harm human health or ecosystems, updating the report every three years. It mandates the creation of a management protocol by January 2028 to determine how priority PFAS will be regulated, including setting water quality standards for PFOA and PFOS. The bill also requires public review and comment on the draft protocol before final rules are adopted, ensuring transparency in the regulatory process.
