Unless I'm reading it wrong it looks like the bill only applies to lead of less than 1 oz. for fishing. NH has had a law like this in place for several years and it hasn't been much of a problem, at least from what I've seen.
"For purposes of this section, "lead sinker'' means any sinker made from lead, the lead portion of which has a mass of one ounce or less, and "lead jig'' means a lead weighted hook that measures less than one inch along its longest axis. Lead sinkers and lead jigs shall not include lead fishing-related items including, but not limited to, fishing line, flies, lures or spoons."
