South Dakota is joining an interstate compact that allows emergency medical personnel (like paramedics and EMTs) licensed in one state to work in other participating states without getting a separate license in each state. The bill repeals South Dakota's old reciprocal licensing system and updates state laws to align with this new interstate agreement, which should make it easier for emergency responders to work across state lines.
