Filed as: Board of Addiction and Prevention Professionals
The South Dakota Board of Addiction and Prevention Professionals is restructuring its licensing rules for addiction counselors, prevention specialists, and peer support professionals. The board is replacing ten chapters of old rules with nine new chapters that consolidate and reorganize requirements for education, work experience, supervision, examination, renewal, and electronic service delivery into a clearer framework. While the specific educational hours, degrees, and supervision standards are being transferred rather than eliminated, practitioners and applicants will need to locate these requirements in the newly numbered sections rather than the previous chapter structure.
AI-generated from the proposed rule text — verify against the official documents.
The effect of the rules will be to: set the education, work experience, supervision, and examination requirement for peer support services; update the education, work experience, supervision and examination requirements for addiction counseling and prevention services; establish the requirements of board approved supervision to meet the requirements for the board to certify or license providers of peer support, addiction counseling and prevention services; set the standards for renewal of a recognition, certification or license issued by the Board; and clarify the standards for providing services through electronic means.
Moved by Sen. Mehlhaff, seconded by Rep. DeGroot, passed 6-0 to deem complete; the board also received permission for a technical correction (changing 'trainee' to 'supervisee' in section 2080.1914) before filing with the Secretary of State.
