HB1220 creates new state regulations for selling nicotine products (like vaping products and alternative nicotine items) and establishes licensing requirements for distributors and wholesalers who sell these products. The bill requires applicants for these licenses to pay a $1,000 fee, and creates a new "nicotine enforcement fund" to collect these fees for enforcement purposes. It also protects the confidentiality of lists of nicotine product licensees in the same way South Dakota protects other business licensee information.
This amendment was largely rewritten (hoghoused) to narrow the bill's focus from regulating all retail sales of nicotine products to regulating only distributor and wholesaler licenses for nicotine products, while raising the licensing fee from one thousand dollars to one hundred fifty thousand dollars for distributors and wholesalers.
This amendment was extensively rewritten (hoghoused) to comprehensively regulate alternative nicotine products and vapor products in addition to traditional nicotine products, dramatically broadening the bill's scope from general nicotine product sales regulation to include detailed definitions of vapor products, nicotine analogs, and alternative nicotine products with specific FDA carve-outs. The amendment also redirects licensing fee revenue to a new "nicotine enforcement fund" and restructures the regulatory framework under a new chapter while maintaining the original penalty provisions.
This amendment was extensively rewritten (hoghoused) to shift from regulating general nicotine products to creating a new licensing and enforcement system specifically for nicotine product distributors and wholesalers, including new license fees of one thousand dollars and establishment of a dedicated nicotine enforcement fund. The change BROADENS the bill's regulatory scope beyond the original nicotine product sale restrictions by creating an entirely new administrative licensing framework with fee collection mechanisms.
The amendment converted the bill from a "senate engrossed" version (which had been extensively rewritten) to an "enrolled" version by removing the hoghouse notice and cleaning up formatting, while substantively changing the distributor license fee from "one hundred fifty" to "one thousand dollars" and correcting a typographical error ("10-29 50," to "10-50,"). This STRENGTHENS the bill's enforcement mechanism by significantly increasing the licensing fee that funds the nicotine enforcement program.
