SB78 allows certain medical providers to practice in South Dakota without obtaining a state license, provided they meet alternative credentialing requirements such as federal certification or out-of-state licensure. This change exempts qualifying providers—likely including telehealth practitioners, military medical personnel, or other federally credentialed professionals—from South Dakota's standard licensing process while still maintaining quality standards through other verification methods.
