This is a resolution that asks the federal Department of Veterans Affairs to allow veterans to receive long-term care services at facilities that don't fully meet the department's standard requirements. The resolution doesn't change South Dakota state law itself; instead, it's an expression of support asking the federal government to be more flexible about where veterans can access care services.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
