Minnesota Extends Reporting Due Date for PFAS in Products

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has announced an extension to the initial reporting due date for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in products, moving it from January 1, 2026, to July 1, 2026.  

According to the MPCA, this six-month extension will allow companies to:

• establish agreements with suppliers for reporting on their behalf, as permitted by proposed state rules;

• familiarize themselves with a new reporting platform, the PFAS Reporting and Information System of Minnesota (PRISM), which is expected to be available for testing in the fall of 2025.

Background

The reporting requirements are part of a broader legislative effort in Minnesota to address PFAS contamination, primarily through Amara's Law (Minnesota Session Law – 2023, Chapter 60, H.F. No. 2310).

Enacted in May 2023, Amara's Law bans the sale and distribution of a variety of products that contain intentionally added PFAS beginning in 2025, including new carpets, rugs, cleaning products, cookware, cosmetics, dental floss, fabric treatments, juvenile products, menstruation products, textile furnishings, ski wax, or upholstered furniture. It also mandates the manufacturers to report specific PFAS information in products to MPCA. 

Earlier in Apirl 2025, MPCA proposed new rules governing the PFAS reporting requirements and fees. The main purpose of this rulemaking is to establish a program for the MPCA to collect information about products containing intentionally added PFAS.
