Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
New fund for cigarette fire safety
The law creates a dedicated fund to enforce the reduced‑ignition cigarette standard. Manufacturer certification fees and other money support this fund, which is available by legislative appropriation. The state fire marshal uses it for processing, testing, enforcement, and oversight. The law repeals the old fire prevention and public safety fund.
New rules and fees for cigarette makers
Manufacturers must certify that each cigarette passed the state’s ignition tests and list key details like brand, size, filter, flavor, packaging, marking, lab contact, and test date. They must recertify every three years. Selling a changed cigarette is banned until it is retested; failing products cannot be sold. Regulators can access these certifications. Makers pay $250 per listed cigarette and an annual fee; these fees go to the insurance regulatory trust fund.
New insurance trust fund and transfers
The law creates an insurance regulatory trust fund for the Insurance Department. It receives fees, penalties, and other sums collected under insurance laws and section 18-13-03, plus investment earnings and any appropriations. Money can only pay the department’s administrative and regulatory costs and must follow state appropriation rules. After each fiscal year, any balance over $1,000,000 moves to the general fund.
