Minnesota PFAS Reporting Rules Finalized Ahead of 2026 Deadline

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has adopted final administrative rules for PFAS reporting in products, establishing the regulatory framework that will require manufacturers to disclose per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in goods sold in the state starting July 1, 2026.

The rules, published in the State Register on December 8, 2025, implement Amara’s Law, Minnesota’s comprehensive PFAS pollution prevention legislation enacted in May 2023. The adopted framework introduces several business-friendly provisions, including group reporting options for multiple brands, acceptance of concentration ranges rather than exact amounts, and formal processes for waiver requests, extensions, and trade secret protections.

Manufacturers, importers, and private label companies must report when PFAS is intentionally added to products or present as a contaminant above 100 ppm. The requirements apply to product components, materials, and packaging, necessitating thorough supply chain investigation. A one-time flat fee of $800 per manufacturer will fund program implementation.

MPCA will launch the PFAS Reporting Information System for Manufacturers (PRISM) through a soft launch in December 2025, with full system access available in January 2026. Based on the Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse platform, PRISM may enable manufacturers to satisfy reporting obligations for multiple jurisdictions through a single submission. Non-confidential data will be publicly accessible after MPCA review.

The July 1, 2026 reporting deadline allows 18 months for preparation, though supply chain data collection for complex product portfolios typically requires 12-16 months. Companies are advised to begin supplier engagement and product mapping immediately to identify PFAS usage across their supply chains.

Minnesota’s framework represents one of the most comprehensive PFAS product reporting requirements in the United States and supports the state’s goal to phase out nonessential PFAS use by 2032.
