SB 108 creates an exception to South Dakota's alcohol consumption laws that allows adults over 18 to taste alcoholic beverages as part of an required educational course. This means students enrolled in programs that teach about alcohol—such as sommelier, brewing, or hospitality courses—can legally sample drinks for educational purposes without violating state drinking prohibitions.
