House File 532 enacts the Dietitian Licensure Compact, which facilitates the interstate practice of dietetics by allowing licensed dietitians to work across state lines without the need for multiple licenses. This aims to improve public access to dietetic services while preserving state regulatory authority. The compact includes provisions for member states to license and regulate dietetics practice, investigate complaints, and share licensure and disciplinary information. It introduces the concept of "compact privilege," enabling dietitians to practice in remote states, provided they hold an unencumbered license in their home state and comply with the laws of the states where they practice.

The bill establishes a dietitian licensure compact commission composed of delegates from each member state, responsible for overseeing the compact's administration, conducting joint investigations, and managing adverse actions against licensees. It outlines the operational framework of the commission, including the establishment of an executive committee and the development of a coordinated data system for managing licensee information. The compact also includes provisions for oversight, dispute resolution, and enforcement, allowing the commission to take legal action against states that fail to meet their obligations. The compact will take effect once enacted by seven member states, and any amendments require unanimous approval from all member states.
