HB 858 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Dietician Licensure Compact; create.

HB 858 would have allowed Mississippi to join a multi-state agreement (the Dietitian Licensure Compact) enabling licensed dietitians to practice across participating states without obtaining separate licenses in each. This compact would grant qualified dietitians a "compact privilege" equivalent to a license in any member state, directly affecting licensed dietitians seeking to work in multiple states - particularly supporting military families relocating. Key provisions include standardizing requirements for practice, reducing administrative burdens for both professionals and states, and requiring states to share disciplinary information. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
