Provides for the licensure of dietitian nutritionists and nutritionists; repealer
This bill establishes a formal licensure system for dietitian nutritionists and nutritionists in New York State, replacing the previous certification framework. It creates a new State Board for Dietetics and Nutrition to oversee the regulation of these professionals and defines the specific duties allowed under each title, including the practice of medical nutrition therapy. The legislation restricts the use of professional titles to only those individuals who are duly licensed under the new rules, ensuring that public claims of expertise are backed by state authorization.
