South Dakota's Department of Social Services will create a new peer support services program and establish licensing requirements for peer support specialists. The department will write rules covering what peer support specialists can do, how they become licensed, renewal procedures, continuing education, supervision standards, and ethical guidelines to protect people receiving these services. Funding for the program will be appropriated through the state's regular budget process.
