The use of lead tackle and ammunition results in the poisoning of wildlife and the eventual exposure of Minnesotans to lead contamination. There is no safe level of exposure to lead, and exposure can result in dangerous health impacts, especially for children and pregnant women. This amendment seeks to avoid unnecessary lead contamination by banning the use, sale, and manufacture of lead tackle and hunting ammunition.
