Sec. 21. (a) Except as provided in subsection (d), each manufacturer shall submit to the state fire marshal a written certification attesting that:(1) each cigarette listed in the certification has been tested as required under section 13 or 15 of this chapter; and(2) each cigarette listed in the certification meets the performance standard in section 13(c) or 15 of this chapter.(b) Each cigarette listed in the certification must include the following information:(1) Brand, or trade name on the package.(2) Style, such as light or ultra light.(3) Length in millimeters.(4) Circumference in millimeters.(5) Flavor, such as menthol, if applicable.(6) Filter or nonfilter.(7) Package description, such as soft pack or box.(8) Marking under section 23 of this chapter.(9) The name, address, and telephone number of the laboratory, if different than the manufacturer that conducted the test.(10) The date that the testing occurred.(c) The certifications must be made available to the attorney general for purposes consistent with this chapter and the department of state revenue and the alcohol and tobacco commission for the purposes of ensuring compliance with this section.(d) Notwithstanding subsection (a), the state fire marshal may accept as evidence of compliance with this chapter a certification issued to:(1) the New York State Department of State's Office of Fire Prevention and Control; or(2) the responsible entity of another state that has:(A) substantially equivalent certification requirements relating to reduced ignition propensity cigarettes; and(B) the same test method and performance standard requirements as provided in sections 13 and 15 of this chapter.(e) Each cigarette listed in a certification submitted under this section must be recertified every three (3) years.(f) For each brand family listed in a certification submitted under subsection (a) or (d), a manufacturer shall pay a fee to the state fire marshal of eight hundred dollars ($800). The state fire marshal may adjust the fee every three (3) years to ensure that the fee defrays the actual costs of the processing, testing, enforcement, and oversight activities required by this chapter under rules adopted by the fire prevention and building safety commission. However, the fee for each brand family may not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000).(g) If a manufacturer has certified a cigarette under this section, and after submitting the certification, makes a change to the cigarette that is likely to alter the cigarette's compliance with the reduced cigarette ignition propensity standards required by this chapter, that cigarette may not be sold or offered for sale in Indiana until the manufacturer retests the cigarette under the testing standards in section 13 or 15 of this chapter and maintains records of that retesting as required by section 16 of this chapter. An altered cigarette that does not meet the performance standard in section 13 or 15 of this chapter may not be sold in Indiana.As added by P.L.82-2008, SEC.1.
