Lead tackle sale, manufacture, and use prohibition provision

SF 1802 prohibits the use, sale, and manufacture of lead sinkers and jigs that weigh one ounce or less or measure 2.5 inches or less in length in Minnesota. It directly affects anglers who use such small lead tackle and businesses that sell or make it, but excludes fishing flies, lures, weighted line, and jig heads. The law will take effect on July 1, 2027, targeting small lead tackle commonly lost or discarded in waterways. This bill creates a clear size/weight threshold for the prohibition without referencing environmental goals.
