As part of the PFAS pollution prevention law called Amara’s Law, manufacturers are required to report intentionally added PFAS in products sold in Minnesota and pay a fee. Initial reports are due by July 1, 2026. Subsequent reports are due each year on Feb. 1.
Those responsible for reporting PFAS in products are encouraged to stay connected by signing up for updates through the PFAS reporting GovDelivery list.
Rules adopted
New rules for manufacturer reporting of PFAS in products were adopted Dec. 8, 2025.
Resources for product manufacturers
A manufacturer or group of manufacturers of a product sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the state must submit a report for that includes information about each product or component that contains intentionally added PFAS. This includes products only sold online. Manufacturers have been able to prepare for PFAS reporting since Amara’s Law was enacted in May 2023. Minn. Stat. § 116.943, subd. 2 requires reporting a description of the product, the purposes/functions that PFAS play in the product, the amount of each type of PFAS, and other information. Minnesota rules adopted after a two-year rulemaking process provide added detail and flexibility for manufacturers, including:
- grouping of similar products options
- allowing for a group of manufacturers to report together
- reporting ranges of PFAS concentrations instead of exact amounts
- waiver, extension, and trade secret requests
- setting a one-time flat fee of $800 per manufacturer to cover implementation costs
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) extended the initial reporting due date by six months to July 1, 2026. The extension gives manufacturers more time to:
- establish agreements with suppliers to report on their behalf as allowed in state rule
- become familiar with the reporting system that will be available in 2026
Refer to the rulemaking page for an overview of the process leading to these adopted rules.
PFAS Reporting and Information System for Manufacturers (PRISM)
PRISM is based on the successful High Priority Chemicals Data System already familiar to many manufacturers. PRISM will begin a soft launch to a small selection of manufacturers for final review in December 2025. Links to PRISM will be found on this webpage when the system is open to all manufacturers in January 2026.
Reporting PFAS in products through PRISM will satisfy Minnesota’s requirements and may also meet reporting requirements of other states. Reported data that is not a trade secret will be available to the public after the MPCA reviews and publishes the information in PRISM. Report publishing will be an ongoing process as reports are submitted.
Reporting PFAS in products and pollution prevention
The risk of PFAS pollution and human exposure begins when the chemicals are made and persists for centuries after a product containing PFAS is disposed of. Cleaning up PFAS pollution is too difficult and expensive to be an effective solution, so preventing contamination by phasing out nonessential use of PFAS in products is the best way to protect human health, the environment, and our economy.
Reporting PFAS use in products is foundational to helping manufacturers develop safer alternatives to PFAS, informing interested consumers, and guiding progress toward ending all nonessential PFAS use in Minnesota by 2032. Many safer alternatives to PFAS already exist.
