D. The distributor may request that the department waive the bonding requirement in subsection A of this section if the distributor maintains a timely, accurate and complete filing and payment record for a period of two years and otherwise complies with all requirements of a licensed distributor pursuant to this chapter and title 44, chapter 27.  1  The waiver of the bonding requirement applies only to the distributor's purchases of tax stamps with which the distributor prepays the Indian reservation tobacco tax, pursuant to § 42-3303 .
