HB 1280 allows doctors to conduct initial medical cannabis patient examinations using telehealth (video conferencing) instead of requiring an in-person visit to establish a valid doctor-patient relationship. This change makes it easier for South Dakota patients to get medical cannabis certifications without traveling to see a healthcare provider in person.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
