196.1035. Judicial review of director's decision not to list — compliance agreement required — rulemaking authority — funds created. — 1. A determination of the director not to list, or to remove from the directory, a brand family or tobacco product manufacturer shall be subject to review by a court of competent jurisdiction.
2. No person shall be issued, or granted a renewal of, a license under chapter 149 unless such person has certified, in writing and under the penalty of perjury, that such person will comply fully with sections 196.1020 to 196.1035.
3. The director may promulgate rules necessary to effect the purpose of sections 196.1020 to 196.1035. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010 that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2010, shall be invalid and void.
4. There is hereby created in the state treasury the "Tobacco Control Special Fund", which shall consist of money collected under this section. The state treasurer shall be custodian of the fund and may approve disbursements from the fund in accordance with sections 30.170 and 30.180. Upon appropriation, money in the fund shall be used solely for the administration of this section. Any moneys remaining in the fund at the end of the biennium shall revert to the credit of the general revenue fund. The state treasurer shall invest moneys in the fund in the same manner as other funds are invested. Any interest and moneys earned on such investments shall be credited to the fund.
5. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a person has violated sections 196.1020 to 196.1035, such court shall order any profits, gains, gross receipts, or other benefits from such violation be disgorged and paid to the state treasurer for deposit in the "Tobacco Control Special Fund" which is hereby created. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the remedies or penalties provided by sections 196.1020 to 196.1035 are cumulative to each other and to the remedies or penalties available under all other laws of this state.
6. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the provisions of sections 196.1003 and 196.1020 to 196.1035 conflict and cannot be harmonized, the provisions of section 196.1003 shall control. If any section or portion of a section in sections 196.1020 to 196.1035 causes section 196.1003 to no longer constitute a qualifying or model statute, as those terms are defined in the master settlement agreement, that portion of sections 196.1020 to 196.1035 shall be invalid.
