SB 76 South Dakota Senate · 2025 Regular Session

repeal reporting and testifying requirements to the committees on health and human services regarding nursing facilities and long-term healthcare needs.

This bill removes the requirement for nursing facilities and long-term healthcare providers in South Dakota to report information or testify before the House and Senate committees on health and human services. Under the new provisions, these healthcare institutions would no longer be obligated to provide data or appear before these specific legislative committees regarding their operations. The change directly affects nursing homes and long-term care facilities by eliminating their current reporting duties to state lawmakers. This adjustment reduces the administrative burden on healthcare providers while altering how oversight information is collected from these facilities.
