BILL NUMBER:A8687 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general business law, in relation to prohibiting the sale and use of wheel weights containing lead or mercury PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill will prohibit the sale and use of wheel weights containing lead or mercury. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one amends the general business law by adding a new section 391-q.

Approximately 50 million pounds per year of lead is used worldwide in the manufacture of wheel weights. An average of 4.5
