South Dakota Tribal Nursing Facilities Act of 2002 - Makes a nursing facility in South Dakota that is owned or operated by an Indian tribe or tribal organization, and is unable to obtain a State license only because of a State-imposed moratorium on the issuance of such licenses, eligible for reimbursement for medical assistance provided under title XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act. Deems such a facility to be an Indian Health Service (IHS) facility with the Federal medical assistance percentage set at 100 percent if it meets all applicable conditions and requirements and has a plan approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services that indicates that the facility is licensed by the Indian tribe or tribal organization.
