A bill for an act enacting the dietitian licensure compact.
This bill enacts the Dietitian Licensure Compact, an agreement among states to facilitate the interstate practice of dietetics. It directly affects licensed dietitians by allowing those licensed in a participating state to practice in other member states without needing a separate license in each. The key mechanism is a "compact privilege," a legal authorization equivalent to a license, granted to qualifying professionals. This aims to increase public access to dietetics services, reduce administrative burdens for licensees and states, and support relocating military families, while preserving each state's regulatory authority. A Compact Commission will be established to oversee the agreement and ensure uniform requirements.
