S.D. Admin. R. 67:16:25:04.04
A vehicle used for secure medical transportation must be equipped with a securement device and a occupant restraint system for each occupant being transported. Each securement device must be installed and used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Each occupant restraint system must provide pelvic and upper torso restraint and must comply with the requirements of 49 C.F.R. § 571.222, S5.4.1 to S5.4.4, inclusive, as amended to April 1, 2017. The driver or the attendant must ensure that the occupant restraint system is fastened around the user before the driver sets the vehicle in motion.
The provisions for using a occupant restraint system do not apply if the occupant possesses a written statement from a physician or other licensed practitioner that the individual is unable for medical reasons to wear the occupant restraint system.
