Certain energy generating facilities requirement to be certified as child labor free

This bill requires manufacturers of solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicle batteries sold in Minnesota to certify that no child labor was used in producing these items, following International Labor Organization standards. It applies to solar energy systems and wind energy conversion systems seeking permits in Minnesota, as well as the products themselves when offered for sale. Manufacturers must provide this certification to comply with the law, or face penalties under existing consumer protection statutes. The law directly affects energy equipment manufacturers and retailers selling these products within Minnesota.
