HCR 6011 South Dakota House · 2026 Regular Session

encouraging the Executive Board of the Legislative Research Council to form an interim Neurohealth Safety Committee to study and assess the regulatory framework under which vapor product retail establishments operate.

HCR 6011 is a concurrent resolution urging South Dakota's Legislative Research Council to establish an interim committee. The committee would study unregulated vapor products (like e-cigarettes) and assess their health impacts, particularly on youth. This resolution does not create new laws but seeks to evaluate whether regulatory action is needed, based on concerns about the safety of these products and their increasing use among young people. The focus is on gathering information to inform future policy decisions.
