South Dakota law currently bans corporations from practicing chiropractic, but this bill creates specific exceptions that allow corporations to employ licensed chiropractors as long as the corporation doesn't control the chiropractor's medical judgment, doesn't profit off their services beyond reasonable facility and administrative costs, and limits employment contracts to three years initially with one-year renewals. The bill essentially clarifies what corporate-chiropractor relationships are allowed while maintaining the prohibition on corporations actually practicing chiropractic themselves.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
