Bill > HB1105

This bill amends existing South Dakota law to prevent contracts or declarations from prohibiting the use of commercial or residential property for healthcare services in areas designated as medically underserved. Specifically, it adds a new section that overrides any existing restrictions if the property is located in a medically underserved area, a medically underserved community, or a county with a medically underserved population, as defined by federal law (the Public Health Service Act). The bill also clarifies that "healthcare service" includes any service provided by an accredited, certified, or licensed facility or practitioner aimed at treating health-related conditions. This change aims to increase access to healthcare in areas that have been identified as lacking sufficient medical resources.
