The Lakes Region economy revolves around and is responsible for $1B worth of economic activity and approximately 8000+ jobs. We as a State need to be laser-focused on protecting the environment that is the foundation of this economy. Neonicotinoids can leach into soil, groundwater, and runoff water, disrupting aquatic food webs by harming insects and zooplankton, and creating conditions that favor algal and harmful cyanobacteria blooms. The bill also protects pollinators and wildlife while promoting safer, more sustainable pest management practices across the state.
