Bill > HB1116

This bill, proposed for the state of South Dakota, aims to prohibit video streaming services from showing certain advertisements during programming intended for children under the age of fourteen, which includes content rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, G, or PG. A "video streaming service" is defined as any entity that provides video content directly to consumers over the internet, similar to traditional television programming, but it excludes traditional broadcasters, cable operators, satellite providers, and services that don't show advertisements. Specifically, these services are forbidden from transmitting advertisements that discuss, promote, or show imagery related to abortion, alcohol, drugs or pharmaceutical products, gambling, gender transition, or nicotine products during children's programming. If a video streaming service violates this prohibition, the state's Attorney General can impose a civil penalty of up to five thousand dollars, with any collected fines being deposited into the state's general fund.
