This bill amends the distribution of revenue generated from the cigarette tax in South Dakota. Specifically, it stipulates that the first thirty million dollars collected annually will continue to be deposited into the general fund. However, the next two million dollars collected beyond that threshold will now be allocated to the tobacco prevention and reduction trust fund, which is designated for implementing tobacco prevention and reduction programs.

Additionally, any revenue collected beyond thirty-two million dollars will still be directed to the general fund. This revision aims to enhance funding for tobacco prevention efforts while maintaining a significant portion of the revenue for the general fund.
