South Dakota is modifying its community paramedic endorsement to give paramedics an additional way to qualify—they can now become certified community paramedics either by completing the state's approved education and training requirements or by obtaining certification from the International Board of Specialty Certification. This change simplifies the process by allowing paramedics to use nationally recognized certification as an alternative path to getting the state endorsement.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
