Big Animal Pharma and the cookware industry are both trying to roll back hard-won environmental and public health protections that Minnesotans fought for and won in 2023.
Minnesotans were clear when Amara’s Law passed: our health, our water, and our kids’ futures matter more than corporate profits. Implementation officially began on January 1, 2025 — and the law is working as intended. It is providing certainty, protecting drinking water, and putting public health first.
Yet now, powerful industry interests — including parts of the cookware and manufacturing sectors — are pushing lawmakers for delays and special exemptions that would weaken the law and reopen the door to toxic exposure.
We anticipate 4 bills attacking and weakening Amara's Law and creating massive exemptions for Big Animal Pharma. As of now, we have bill numbers for two of those bills:
- SF4277 (Kupec)
- SF4173 (Kupec)/HF 4002 (Burkel)
This is urgent. These bills are being considered in the legislature right now. Send a message to your legislators today, and urge them to keep Amara’s Law intact, with no delays and no exemptions.
