South Dakota is creating a new taskforce to study whether Indian tribes in the state should establish their own managed care organizations to deliver Medicaid services to tribal members. The taskforce will include representatives from federally recognized tribes, state agencies, the legislature, healthcare providers, and the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs, and will be supported by the Department of Social Services.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment reassigns administrative support for the taskforce from the Department of Health to the Department of Social Services, and removes the bill's effective date provision, leaving it to take effect under standard law. This NARROWS the bill by streamlining administrative responsibility to the department already overseeing Medicaid programs rather than splitting oversight between two agencies.
This amendment converts the bill from its engrossed (committee) version to its enrolled (final passed) version, removing internal legislative markup indicators and adding official certification pages and signature lines required for a bill that has been approved by both chambers and is ready for the Governor's action. The substantive content of the taskforce creation remains unchanged.
