SB134 revises South Dakota's rules for physician assistants by allowing two new types of supervisors: experienced physician assistants (with at least 4,000 practice hours) can now supervise newer physician assistants, not just licensed doctors. The bill also clarifies that practice collaborative agreements—the written contracts between physician assistants and their supervisors—must be kept on file at the physician assistant's main workplace and must outline the terms of their working relationship.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
