South Dakota is eliminating a specific $150 civil penalty for medical cannabis cardholders and businesses that fail to provide required notices, and replacing it with a broader penalty system that allows the state health department to fine medical cannabis establishments up to $1,000 for any violation of medical cannabis laws where no other penalty is already specified. This change gives regulators more flexibility to penalize violations but could result in steeper fines for some infractions.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
