HB1105TabledHealthcare
restrict contracts and declarations that prohibit the use of commercial or residential property for any healthcare service in medically underserved areas or communities, or in areas with a medically underserved population under federal law.
Property owners in South Dakota can no longer use contracts or deed restrictions to ban healthcare services on their land if that land sits in a federally-designated medically underserved area or community. The bill makes such restrictions unenforceable and allows affected parties or local governments to challenge them, opening the door for clinics and medical facilities in areas where healthcare access is limited.
