A 9087 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Provides for the licensure of dietitian nutritionists and nutritionists; repealer

This bill establishes a formal licensing system for dietitian nutritionists and nutritionists in New York State, replacing the previous voluntary certification model. It creates a new State Board for Dietetics and Nutrition to oversee licensure, define professional standards, and regulate the use of specific titles like "dietitian nutritionist" and "nutritionist." The legislation clarifies the scope of practice for both roles, explicitly including medical nutrition therapy and the ability to order therapeutic diets and related tests. By requiring a license to use these professional titles, the bill aims to ensure that individuals providing nutrition care services meet defined educational and competency requirements.
