What This Bill Proposed
Minnesota establishes a 50 percent gross revenues tax on entities manufacturing and selling products containing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the state. The measure creates a dedicated cleanup account in the special revenue fund, funded by tax revenues and managed by the State Board of Investment. Additionally, it establishes an advisory commission to recommend how cleanup funds should be used.
Manufacturers and retailers of products containing deliberately added PFAS face a new 50 percent tax on gross revenues derived from the state, with revenues directed toward environmental cleanup and managed by a new legislative and agency advisory commission.
