South Dakota will eliminate a requirement for the Department of Health and the Department of Human Services to submit annual written reports and testify before the legislature's health committees about nursing facility bed needs and long-term healthcare planning. This removes a yearly reporting deadline (before the fourth Tuesday in January) that previously kept lawmakers informed on whether the state needed additional nursing facilities.
