HB 1863 Tennessee House · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Dieticians and Nutritionists - As enacted, enacts the "Dietitian Licensure Compact." - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 63 and Title 68.

This bill establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact in Tennessee, allowing licensed dietitians to practice across state lines with a single license. It creates a system where professionals who meet uniform standards can obtain a "compact privilege" to work in other member states without needing separate licenses for each location. The law also sets up a commission to share information about licenses and disciplinary actions between states while ensuring that dietitians remain accountable to the laws of the state where they are treating patients. Additionally, the compact specifically aims to make it easier for active military members and their spouses to relocate and continue their careers without administrative delays.
