Dietitian Licensing Amendments

SB 317 establishes Utah's participation in the Dietitian Licensure Compact, allowing licensed dietitians to practice across participating states without obtaining separate licenses. The bill creates uniform requirements for interstate practice, includes provisions for military members and their spouses to retain licenses during active duty, and establishes a governing commission to manage the compact. It also clarifies that states must uphold accountability for dietitians practicing in their jurisdiction and ensures the compact supersedes conflicting state laws. This affects licensed dietitians seeking multi-state practice and participating states, reducing administrative barriers while maintaining regulatory authority. The bill adds no new funding and enacts specific Utah Code sections to implement the compact.
