Place requirements on the use of artificial intelligence systems by health carriers in making determinations about the provision of health care services.

Senate BillLiz Larson(D)Introduced Jan 29, 2026Last action Feb 17, 2026

Health insurance companies in South Dakota must now follow specific rules when using artificial intelligence or automated software to decide whether to pay for health care services. These AI systems must base their decisions on individual patients' medical histories and clinical circumstances rather than just comparing patients to group statistics, and must apply the same standards fairly to all patients covered under a health plan.
