     Section 1. That § 38-12A-11 be amended to read as follows:
     38-12A-11. No person may sell, distribute, advertise, solicit orders for, offer for sale, expose for sale, or transport seed without first obtaining from the Department of Agriculture a permit to engage in the business. A permit is not required of any person selling or advertising seed of the person's own production in South Dakota, if the seed is stored or delivered to a purchaser only on or from the farm or premises where grown or the production and sale of seed is not a primary endeavor and primary source of income to such persons. Each permit shall expire on the thirty-first day of December of the year following the date of issue. The biennial fee for a seed permit is: Seedsman -- two hundred fifty dollars; Seed producer -- fifty dollars; Seed dealer -- fifty dollars.
     Section 2. That chapter 38-12A be amended by adding thereto a NEW SECTION to read as follows:

Fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be deposited with the state treasurer in a special revenue fund known as the seed fund. This fund shall consist of moneys from public and private sources including legislative appropriations, federal grants, gifts, and the fees received pursuant to this chapter. The fund shall be maintained separately and be administered by the department in order to defray the expenses of all activities associated with administering the seed program. Expenditures from the fund shall be appropriated through the normal budget process. Unexpended funds and interest shall remain in the fund until appropriated by the Legislature.
Section 3. That § 38-18-3 be amended to read as follows:

     38-18-3. Any person owning, leasing, or possessing bees shall file an application registering the bees and each apiary with the secretary.

The landowner or lessee authorizing the placement of an apiary on a location may revoke the authorization by notifying the owner of the apiary and the secretary in writing. Such revocation of authorization by a landowner or lessee is not sufficient justification for a contested case hearing. If any person fails to register an apiary within the time specified by this section, the landowner authorization for that location is invalid. A registration application shall be approved or rejected by the secretary in compliance with this chapter or rules promulgated pursuant to chapter 1-26. The secretary may deny applications, revoke permits, or conduct contested case hearings in accordance with rules promulgated pursuant to chapter 1-26. Any person failing to register an apiary or bees pursuant to this section is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor. In addition to the criminal penalty imposed by this section, a person is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed five hundred dollars for each location that the person has failed to register.

     38-18-36. There is hereby imposed upon each bee location within the state, at the time of registration, a continuing annual assessment of one dollar per location. The Department of Agriculture shall collect and deposit the funds in the honey industry fund.

The fund shall be maintained separately and be administered by the department in order to defray the expenses of all activities associated with administering the apiary program. Expenditures from the fund shall be appropriated through the normal budget process. Unexpended funds and interest shall remain in the fund until appropriated by the Legislature.

(1) No fee need be paid on a commercial feed if the payment has been made by a previous distributor;

(2) No fee need be paid on customer-formula feeds;

(3) No fee need be paid on commercial feeds used as ingredients for the manufacture of commercial feeds provided the fee has been paid by a previous distributor. If the fee has been paid, credit is given for the payment;

(4) In the case of a pet food which is distributed in the state only in packages of ten pounds or less, a biennial fee of fifty dollars per product shall be paid in lieu of the inspection fee specified above;

(5) In the case of a specialty pet food which is distributed in the state only in packages of ten pounds or less, a biennial fee of twenty-five dollars per product shall be paid in lieu of the

Inspection fees that are due and have not been remitted to the Department of Agriculture by January thirty-first of each year shall have a late payment fee of ten percent or twenty dollars, whichever is greater, added to the amount due when payment is finally made. The assessment of this late payment fee does not prevent the department from taking other actions as provided in this chapter; and

(2) Keep such records as may be necessary or required by the secretary of agriculture, pursuant to rules promulgated pursuant to chapter 1-26, to indicate accurately the tonnage of commercial feed distributed in this state. The secretary may examine such records to verify statements of tonnage.

     Failure to make an accurate statement of tonnage or to pay the inspection fee or comply with this section constitutes sufficient cause for cancellation of a commercial feed license or rejection of a commercial feed license application.
     Section 34. That § 39-18-8 be amended to read as follows:
     39-18-8. Upon approval by the secretary of agriculture, a copy of the registration of an animal remedy shall be forwarded to the applicant.

If an inspection is conducted, the person requesting the inspection shall pay the secretary any extra expense incidental to such inspection plus mileage and per diem for inspectors' expenses.
     Section 36. That § 38-19-12 be amended to read as follows:
     38-19-12.

The report is due on or before the thirtieth of January following the close of the reporting period and on the basis of the statement each licensed distributor of commercial fertilizer shall pay the inspection fee at the rate pursuant to § 38-19-10. If more than one person is involved in the distribution of a commercial fertilizer, the distributor who imports, manufactures, or produces the commercial fertilizer is responsible for the inspection fee on products produced or brought into this state. The distributor shall separately list the inspection fee on the invoice to the licensee. The last licensee shall retain the invoices showing proof of inspection fees paid for three years and shall pay the inspection fee on commercial fertilizer brought into this state or produced before July 1, 2001, unless the distributor has reported and paid the fees. If the tonnage report is not filed and the payment of inspection fee is not made within thirty days after the end of the period, a collection fee amounting to ten percent (minimum ten dollars) of the amount shall be assessed against the licensee and the amount of fees due constitutes a debt and becomes the basis of a judgment against the licensee. The secretary may verify the records on which statements of tonnage are based and each licensed distributor of commercial fertilizer shall grant the secretary permission

to verify the records on the licensee's application for license and on each tonnage report. The secretary may revoke or refuse to renew the license of any licensee failing to comply with this section. No information furnished under this section may be disclosed by the secretary or anyone having access to tonnage reports if the disclosure will in any way divulge any part of the operations of a licensee.
Section 37. That § 38-24B-14 be amended to read as follows:
38-24B-14. A certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter is in effect for a period not to exceed two years and expires on December thirty-first of the year following the date of issue.
