SF 3942 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain plastic containers holding personal care products provision by hotels and health clubs prohibition

SF 3942 prohibits hotels and health clubs in Minnesota from providing personal care products (like shampoo, soap, lotion, and razors) in single-use plastic containers that guests can take home. The law allows refillable dispensers and non-plastic packaging but bans plastic-wrapped or plastic-container products for these items. It takes effect in 2027 for health clubs and large hotels (50+ rooms), and in 2028 for smaller hotels. Violations after the first warning may result in civil penalties up to $500 per day, capped at $10,000 annually per establishment.
