Conservation Minnesota has worked for many years to remove toxic PFAS chemicals from our products and the environment. In 2023, we helped pass Amara’s Law, which prohibits non-essential uses of PFAS. A bill was introduced at the state legislature to exempt a list of commercial and industrial projects from Amara’s Law, which would continue to expose Minnesotans to dangerous PFAS chemicals unnecessarily. We submitted the letter below in opposition to the repeal bill and will continue to advocate for the strictest enforcement and protections for Amara’s Laws.
