This bill establishes a regulatory framework for vapor products in South Dakota, introducing new definitions and licensing requirements for vapor product distributors and retailers. Key terms are defined, including "vapor product," "vapor product distributor," and "vapor product retailer." The bill mandates that individuals or entities wishing to sell vapor products must obtain a vapor product distributor license and register with the Department of Revenue. It also specifies that vapor product distributors must secure certifications from manufacturers regarding the compliance of their products with FDA regulations. Violations of these provisions can result in various misdemeanor charges, depending on the nature of the infraction.

Additionally, the bill prohibits the shipment or transportation of vapor products directly to consumers in South Dakota, regardless of the seller's location. The Attorney General is granted the authority to seek injunctions and civil penalties for violations of this shipping prohibition, with penalties escalating for repeated offenses. The legislation emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper documentation and compliance with certification requirements, and it outlines the consequences for failing to adhere to these regulations, including the classification of non-compliant vapor products as contraband. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the regulation of vapor products to ensure public safety and compliance with federal standards.
