Removes the requirement that certifying entities for biodegradable or compostable products must be nonprofit corporations

Maintains two remaining requirements for certifying entities: they must promote production, use, and appropriate end-of-life for materials designed to fully biodegrade in environments like industrial composting, and must be technically capable and willing to perform compliance analysis

Removes the January 1, 2026 start date for the certification requirements, making them effective the day following final enactment

Amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 325E.046, subdivision 2a, governing certification of products labeled as "biodegradable" or "compostable"
