Dieticians and Nutritionists - As enacted, enacts the "Dietitian Licensure Compact." - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 63 and Title 68.
This bill enacts the Dietitian Licensure Compact, a new agreement that allows licensed dietitians in Tennessee to practice in other member states without obtaining separate licenses for each location. To qualify for this interstate privilege, professionals must meet uniform standards, including holding a current license, completing continuing education, and passing a jurisprudence exam on state laws. The legislation establishes a commission to manage the compact and facilitates the sharing of disciplinary and investigative information among member states to protect public health. Additionally, the law specifically supports active military members and their spouses by simplifying the process for them to relocate and continue their careers across state lines.
