This bill creates a new requirement that non-medical home care agencies in South Dakota must obtain a license from the Department of Health before operating in the state. Non-medical home care agencies are businesses that employ aides to help clients with daily activities like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and companionship in their homes. Operating without a license becomes a Class 1 misdemeanor offense.
