What is the minimum requirement for a nonresident pharmacy to be licensed in South Dakota?

For a nonresident pharmacy to be licensed in South Dakota, the requirement is that it must be in good standing in the state where its dispensing facilities are located. This means that the pharmacy must comply with all relevant laws and regulations in its home state. Good standing typically indicates that the pharmacy has not violated any major regulations that would affect its ability to operate legally and safely. Licensing authorities seek to ensure that pharmacies are following proper practices, and being in good standing often serves as a proxy for quality and adherence to regulations, which is essential for protecting public health in South Dakota.

The other options either misinterpret the requirements for nonresident pharmacies or introduce conditions that do not apply, such as having a physical location in South Dakota, which is not necessary for nonresident pharmacies. They operate effectively from their home state as long as they meet the standards set forth by South Dakota's pharmacy laws.
