Assessment for each mattress and box spring sold in the state to fund grants to local governments to expand mattress recycling programs establishment; appropriating money

This bill requires mattress and box spring producers (brand owners) and retailers to add a $5 assessment to each item sold in Minnesota. The funds collected - paid quarterly to the Pollution Control Agency - will be deposited into a special account. The account will provide annual grants to local governments to expand and support their mattress recycling programs. The fee applies to all sales, including online transactions, and is intended to directly fund recycling infrastructure development.
