ENTITLED, An Act to provide for the issuance of additional retail fireworks licenses.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Section 1. That § 34-37-2 be amended to read as follows:
34-37-2. No person may sell, hold for sale, or offer for sale, as wholesaler or retailer any
fireworks in this state unless such person has first obtained a license as a wholesaler or retailer.
Application for a license as wholesaler or retailer shall be made to the Department of Public Safety
on forms to be prescribed by it. Each application shall be accompanied by the required fee, which
shall be five hundred dollars for a wholesaler's license, and twenty-five dollars for a retailer's license.
A separate twenty-five dollar retailer's license is required for each sales period, as specified in § 34-37-10, during which a retailer may sell fireworks. Each application for a twenty-five dollar retailer's
license in any year must be received by the department no later than fifteen days before the beginning
of the sales period. Any application for a twenty-five dollar retailer's license received after that date
shall be denied by the department and returned to the applicant together with any application fee
submitted. The twenty-five dollar retailer's license expires sixty days after the end of the sales period
and is renewable annually until the application deadline for the corresponding sales period. The
license shall at all times be displayed at the place of business of the holder of the license. The funds
received under the provisions of this section shall be deposited in the general fund.
