The article from MSN discusses several new laws that took effect in Minnesota on January 1, 2024. Key among these are a ban on "junk fees" which aims to eliminate hidden or unexpected charges in transactions, enhancing transparency for consumers. Another significant law addresses the regulation of "forever chemicals" or PFAS, with new restrictions on their use due to environmental and health concerns. Additionally, the state has introduced regulations on binary triggers, which are devices that allow semi-automatic firearms to fire at a higher rate, aiming to control the spread of such modifications. Other new laws include provisions for earned sick and safe time, a requirement for a minimum of 21 days of paid leave for employees, and changes in voting rights, such as allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to pre-register to vote. These legislative changes reflect Minnesota's efforts to protect consumer rights, environmental health, and public safety while promoting civic engagement.
