But the "PATH" environment variable already has the export attribute on it, so it is exported either way. Furthermore, I'm bewildered w.r.t. what is the question/goal here? If you set some variable in a script, it will never modify the environment of the *parent process*, only the script itself, and child processes started by the script.
