Minnesota PFAS Reporting (Amara's Law)
Minnesota's PFAS disclosure law — commonly called Amara's Law (Minn. Stat. §116.9422) — requires manufacturers of products containing intentionally added PFAS that are sold or distributed in Minnesota to report those products to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
What the deadline is
Amara's Law phases in both reporting and use restrictions across 11 product categories. Reporting is annual; the first reports are due in 2026 for most covered categories, with some categories starting later. Use restrictions for higher-exposure categories (such as carpets and rugs, cleaning products, cookware, cosmetics, and children's products) begin on a staggered schedule between 2025 and 2032.
Confirm the exact reporting date and any category-specific extensions for your products on MPCA's PFAS reporting page — the agency publishes the current schedule there.
Who must report
You must report if you are a manufacturer of a product (or component) sold, offered for sale, or distributed in Minnesota that contains intentionally added PFAS. Importers and private-label sellers acting as the manufacturer of record are covered. The 11 covered categories are:
- Textiles
- Food packaging
- Children's products
- Cookware
- Cosmetics
- Cleaning products
- Furniture and upholstery
- Carpets and rugs
- Ski wax
- Personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Ancillary products
What evidence is required
For each reported product you must identify the PFAS chemical(s), the function/purpose of the PFAS in the product, and the product category. To support your report you'll typically need:
- A supplier declaration (or SDS / certificate of compliance) stating whether PFAS are intentionally added
- The chemical name and CAS number of any PFAS, and its concentration range
- The function the PFAS serves in the component
- Records covering which components/products the evidence applies to
PFAS Compliance Desk helps you collect this evidence from each supplier through a self-service portal and export it into a structured filing — but it does not file with MPCA on your behalf.
