Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton signed the state’s lead and mercury wheel weights bill into law on May 16.
The legislation was presented in March of this year to both the state’s Senate and House.
The new law includes a ban on the installation, sale and distribution of lead and mercury based wheel balance weights and features a compliance date of Jan. 1, 2016. The law also requires proper recycling of all lead and mercury weights that are removed from vehicles.
