Establishes the "Dietitian Licensure Compact"
This bill establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact to allow licensed dietitians to practice across multiple states without needing separate licenses for each location. It specifically simplifies the licensing process for military spouses by waiving standard examination and experience requirements if they hold a valid license from another state. The legislation also creates a commission to oversee the agreement and ensures that all participating states can share information regarding disciplinary actions to protect public health. While the goal is to reduce administrative burdens and improve access to dietetics services, dietitians licensed under this compact remain subject to the laws of the state where they are currently providing care.
