State government’s courts want the Legislature’s approval to look at how mental telehealth services could work in some of South Dakota’s rural counties.
State Supreme Court Chief Justice David Gilbertson has asked lawmakers for permission to spend up to $418,000 for the study.
The money would come from outside state government.
Gilbertson said in his State of the Judiciary message to the Legislature earlier this month that he has discussed the idea with the trustee for the Helmsley Charitable Trust.
