South Dakota is joining an interstate compact that allows licensed counselors to practice across state lines more easily, similar to how some professions already operate regionally. The bill updates state counseling licensure requirements to meet the compact's standards and removes several outdated licensing provisions from state law. This makes it simpler for counselors to work in multiple states and for out-of-state counselors to serve South Dakota clients.
