Minnesota PFAS Reporting: What to Know About Amara's Law
If you sell products in Minnesota that contain intentionally added PFAS, you likely owe the state a report by September 15, 2026, and that report must be filed through the new system called PRISM.
Minnesota's PFAS reporting law is different than most other state chemical disclosure regulations in one way: it's a phase-out schedule with required reporting rather than just a disclosure requirement. Here's what you need to know for successful PFAS compliance in Minnesota.
How Minnesota PFAS Law Is Different
Most state PFAS laws ban specific product categories or have a set disclosure threshold. Minnesota's Amara's Law combines both. Here's the timeline:
January 1, 2025: 11 product categories can’t be sold in Minnesota if they contain intentionally added PFAS.
August 16, 2026: Last day to file for a one-time 90-day extension.
September 15, 2026: Deadline to report if you haven’t filed for extension.
December 14, 2026: Reporting deadline for manufacturers who have obtained an extension.
February 1, Annually: Annual updates due if there is new information on new products, product changes, or information on an existing report.
What Must Be Reported?
Amara's Law requires manufacturers to report on five categories of information for each product or component with intentionally added PFAS:
A product description that includes UPC, SKU, or other identifying code.
The purpose PFAS serves in the product or component.
The amount of each PFAS present by CAS registry number, either as an exact quantity or within a commissioner-approved range.
The manufacturer name and address, and a name, address, and phone number for a point of contact.
Any additional information MPCA requests.
If you obtain MPCA approval, you can report by product category or type rather than pby individual product. Some groups of manufacturers can report together, some similar products can be grouped, and in some cases PFAS concentration can be reported as a range instead of an exact figure. This rulemaking was intended to add more flexibility for manufacturers.
There is a one-time initial reporting fee of $800 per manufacturer due along with submitted reports.
Documentation Is Key
The focus of PRISM reporting is on supplier due diligence, not just the report you file. Manufacturers are expected to go the extra mile in supplier outreach, follow-up, and documentation as well as keep all records for at least five years after a product leaves the supply chain.
When MPCA reviews a report, you need to have full documentation on hand, including non-responses.
After MPCA review, everything in a submitted report besides trade secret information becomes publicly searchable in PRISM. This means both advocacy groups and competitors can view it with no account needed. PFAS compliance can make a difference in your company's reputation and noncompliance can expose your company to litigation on green claims, among other things.
