This bill establishes procedures for home and community-based service providers to terminate care for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities under South Dakota's CHOICES waiver program. Providers must now give at least 30 days' written notice to the participant (or their parent if under 18), their guardian if applicable, their service plan team, and the Department of Human Services before ending services, and the notice must explain the reason for termination and inform them of alternative services. This creates new rules where none previously existed to protect vulnerable participants from sudden loss of care.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
