This is right from the DNR website in ice fishing rules :

When ice fishing, no more than three lines may be used at any
one time. Each line may contain no more than two hooks (single,
double or treble) or two artificial baits.

Sounds like your tip up rig is well within the rules.

That is the law. Go and get em.

It sounds like a quick-strike rig- used with live bait even when musky fishing. Not only are they legal, they are preferred because they don't require the fish to literally swallow the hook down to its A**hole  in order to hook it. Good luck with it!
