South Dakota is joining a multi-state agreement that allows physician assistants (PAs) licensed in one participating state to practice in South Dakota without obtaining a separate license, as long as they have an unrestricted license in good standing from their home state. This compact makes it easier for PAs to work across state lines and helps military families relocate without losing their ability to practice. South Dakota's medical licensing board will still have the authority to discipline PAs practicing in the state.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
