The reason for the proposed rules is to fully implement House Bill 1029 which established the Board's jurisdiction for the certification of peer support specialists and establishes the role and responsibilities of a board approved supervisor to ensure completion of the required work experience for certification or licensure. The proposed rules provide a comprehensive update through a repeal and replace of the current administrative rules for certification and licensure of addiction counseling and prevention services. The update reorganizes the education, work experience, supervision, and examination requirements for each category of services certified or licensed by the Board for consistency among the services. The proposed rules also set the standards for ethical practice, reciprocity and certification or licensure by endorsement, and standards for services provided through electronic means. Persons interested in presenting amendments, data, opinions, and arguments for or against the proposed rules may appear in-person at the hearing, or mail or e-mail them to the South Dakota State Board of Addiction and Prevention Professionals, PO Box 340, Pierre, South Dakota, 57501, by emailing bapp@midwestsolutionssd.com.
