This bill proposes the repeal of Section 34-12-35.11, which currently mandates reporting and testifying requirements to the committees on health and human services concerning nursing facilities and long-term healthcare needs. By eliminating this section, the bill aims to reduce the regulatory burden on nursing facilities and streamline the oversight process related to long-term healthcare.

The repeal signifies a shift in how the state approaches oversight of nursing facilities, potentially allowing for more flexibility in operations without the obligation to report and testify before legislative committees. This change may impact the level of accountability and transparency in the management of long-term healthcare services in South Dakota.
