DIETITIANS: Provides with respect to the profession of dietetics and dieticians (EN INCREASE SG EX See Note)
HB 399 is a procedural bill that makes minor technical amendments to existing dietetics law. It adjusts wording about the board's authority (changing "is" to "are" and revising phrases about board requirements) but does not create new rules or affect practitioners directly. The bill focuses solely on clarifying the current legal text governing the profession. It remains pending in committee and has not yet become law.

MINOR
The bill was converted from an enrolled version to the original prefiling version, restoring the full legislative text and removing the final 'ENROLLED' status. The substantive policy content regarding the Dietitian Licensure Compact remains identical, as the enrolled version was a finalized copy of the original bill.
Scope change
The scope of the bill's applicability is unchanged; it still establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact to allow dietitians to practice across state lines.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'ENROLLED' header and page count, indicating the bill is no longer in its final passed form.
Added the 'ORIGINAL' header and prefiling notice, restoring the bill to its initial submission format.
Reordered line numbers and removed the specific citation of existing statutes (R.S. 44:4.1) that were superseded by the new compact provisions.
