Relating to the dietitian licensure compact; authorizing a fee.

HB 4465 creates a Dietitian Licensure Compact, allowing licensed dietitians in Texas to practice in other participating states without obtaining separate licenses. It directly affects licensed dietitians seeking to work across state lines, patients accessing dietetics services, and Texas' regulatory system. The key mechanism is a "Compact Privilege" that replaces multiple state licenses with one, reducing administrative burden while maintaining each state's authority to regulate practice. The bill also authorizes a fee to implement and manage this interstate licensure system, aiming to improve access to dietetics services, support military families relocating, and streamline regulatory processes.
