South Dakota would join a multistate compact that allows physician assistants licensed in one participating state to practice in other member states without obtaining separate licenses in each state. The compact streamlines licensing for physician assistants while maintaining each state's ability to discipline practitioners and protecting patient safety by requiring PAs to be under the jurisdiction of the state where the patient is located. This change particularly benefits military families by allowing active-duty service members and their spouses to practice across state lines more easily.
