modify certain requirements for eligibility to receive a gift of a museum collection from a county or municipality.

South Dakota counties and cities can now gift their museum collections to nonprofit organizations more easily by exempting taxidermied animal specimens from the usual requirements that apply to other historical artifacts. This means taxidermy collections no longer need to stay in South Dakota, can be disposed of without the county or city's permission, and don't have to be returned if the nonprofit dissolves—unlike other donated collections that must follow these restrictions.

adopt the psychology interjurisdictional licensure compact.

South Dakota is joining a multi-state agreement called the Psychology Interjurisdictional Licensure Compact, which allows licensed psychologists to more easily practice across state lines without obtaining separate licenses in each state. The bill updates state law to implement this compact by removing outdated licensing provisions and streamlining how psychologists can work in South Dakota and other member states.
