SB14 updates South Dakota's pharmacy regulations by revising definitions and rules governing how pharmacists can practice, including changes to what counts as drug "compounding" and how pharmacists can work with patients and other healthcare providers. The bill streamlines several regulatory sections, eliminates one outdated rule, and adds new provisions to clarify pharmacist responsibilities and scope of practice. These changes modernize the state's pharmacy laws to reflect current professional standards and practices.
The amendment is a minor cleanup that corrects formatting and punctuation errors—specifically changing slash-separated terms like "pharmacist/, patient/," to comma-separated format "pharmacist, patient," and fixing a chapter reference from "39-29 18" to "39-18"—without altering the bill's substantive purpose of modifying pharmacy practice provisions.
