Legislative findings--Revival of §21-3-11
Official statutory text
As a result of the decision of the South Dakota Supreme Court in Knowles vs. United States, 1996 SD 10, 544 NW2d 183 (1996), the Legislature accepts the court's analysis and finds that Chapter 167 of the Session Laws of 1985 is now and has been part of the South Dakota Codified Laws since its effective date, codified as § 21-3-11 . The Legislature finds that amendment of the revived statute is necessary to recognize the evolution of levels of licensure from the time of initial passage of the statute to the present for the practitioners and entities addressed by the original version of the statute.
