This bill establishes new rules for marriage and family therapists in South Dakota by defining what the profession entails, requiring therapists to display their licenses prominently at their workplace, and making it a crime for unlicensed people to practice marriage and family therapy. The changes create clearer standards for who can legally practice this profession and help protect the public by ensuring only licensed professionals offer these services.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
