The effect of the rules will be to update the code of ethics to the most recent version and add a new chapter that sets a minimum continuing education requirement, defines a continuing education unit, provide guidance on courses eligible for continuing education credit, provides guidance on documentation needed for continuing education, and provides for an exception to the requirements where applicable. The reason for adopting the proposed rules is to update to the most recent version of the code of ethics and set minimum continuing education requirements pursuant to SDCL 36-27A-26.

New content is added below as the draft rules move through the rule-making process.
