South Dakota is creating a new nine-member Developmental Disability Service Delivery Committee to review and improve the state's Medicaid waiver programs that provide home and community services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The committee will examine how providers are reviewed and accredited, gather feedback from people with disabilities and their families, and recommend changes to make the system more efficient and less burdensome for service providers. This is a new committee with no changes to existing law—it establishes a formal way to evaluate and improve disability services going forward.
The committee's mandate was narrowed to focus specifically on streamlining provider reviews and assessing roles and responsibilities, removing the broader directive to monitor waiver program implementation changes.
The amendment adds an expiration date of January 1, 2030, to the committee's existence.
The engrossed version's formatting markup and line numbering were removed, and enrollment signature pages and attestation sections were added for executive approval.
