Minnesota SF2408 delays prohibition of certain PFAS-containing firefighting foam at airport hangars until 2028.

Minnesota SF2408 amends the state's prohibition on the manufacture, sale, and use of class B firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals. The bill delays the prohibition for airport hangars until January 1, 2028. It also allows for a one-year extension if certain conditions are met, such as the need for additional time due to circumstances beyond the control of the operator. The bill exempts the manufacture, sale, distribution, or use of class B firefighting foam for which the inclusion of PFAS chemicals is required by federal law.
