South Dakota currently operates a state assistance program that helps people with chronic kidney failure afford dialysis and transplant services when they can't pay for it themselves. This bill eliminates that entire program, meaning the state will no longer provide financial help to kidney failure patients for these life-saving treatments. People needing dialysis or transplants will need to rely solely on federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid, insurance, or other sources of funding.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
