The bill amends Section 28-22-6 of South Dakota law to update the list of community-based providers eligible for state-funded services. The revised section specifies that the chapter applies to various types of providers, including nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, in-home service providers, group care providers, psychiatric residential treatment facilities, substance abuse disorder treatment and prevention providers, community mental health centers, intermediate care facilities for individuals with co-occurring intellectual and developmental disabilities, community support providers, critical access hospitals, and federally qualified health centers.

Additionally, the bill allows for the inclusion of other types of providers as deemed appropriate by the secretaries of the Department of Social Services or the Department of Human Services. This amendment aims to ensure that a comprehensive range of community-based services is recognized and funded, thereby enhancing the support available to individuals in need of these services.
