SB 136 updates South Dakota's rules for emergency detainment of people struggling with drug and alcohol abuse by clarifying what counts as an accredited treatment facility and refining the definitions used in the detainment process. The bill expands the types of organizations that can be recognized as qualified treatment facilities, including those accredited by various national organizations and Indian Health Service standards. These changes streamline how the state identifies appropriate facilities where people can be detained and treated for substance abuse issues.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
