In the US, I would say with great confidence that there is NO federal or state law that prohibits the use of lard in baked goods.
Religious "Law", yes... especially if it's claiming to be Kosher.

No, but it's hard to find a good lard pie crust these days. We have to make them ourselves, and I'm about ready to render my own lard from the pork available at the house of treyf (aka Chinese market) down the block.
You are perhaps confusing lard with trans fat. The latter will be banned in New York next year:

No truth to that
Buy all the lard you want from Morrell

No, but I wish it was! Alot of commercial baked goods are made with vegetable shortening.
