South Dakota is providing $1,348,294 to reimburse specific health care professionals—including family physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners—who completed requirements for rural recruitment assistance programs. The Department of Health will verify that these professionals met the program requirements and then process reimbursement payments. The bill declares this spending an emergency so the funds can be distributed immediately.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
