HB 3399 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating gnerally to the Board of Dieticians

HB 3399 updates West Virginia's licensing requirements for dietitians and nutritionists by mandating state licensure to use titles like "dietitian," "licensed dietitian," "nutritionist," or "licensed nutritionist" and to provide medical nutrition therapy, effective June 30, 2025. The bill re-establishes the Board of Dieticians to oversee licensing, define professional scope, and set qualifications for practitioners. It includes exemptions for individuals marketing food/supplements without using protected titles, other licensed health professionals practicing within their scope, and supervised students. The legislation aims to standardize qualifications while clarifying that federal nutrition credentials do not replace state licensing for these titles or services.
