The proposed bill amends Chapter 35, Title 54 of the Idaho Code by introducing a new section, 54-3508A, which establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact. This compact is designed to enhance the interstate practice of dietetics, allowing licensed dietitians to provide services across state lines without the need for multiple licenses. It aims to improve public access to dietetic services while ensuring that state regulatory authority is maintained for public health and safety. The compact includes provisions for member states to license and regulate dietetics, participate in a shared data system, and enforce compact rules, while also addressing the needs of military members and their spouses regarding licensure.

The bill outlines the governance and operational framework for the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission, which will oversee the compact's implementation. It details the commission's authority to conduct investigations, manage finances, and enforce compliance among member states. Additionally, the bill establishes procedures for rulemaking, dispute resolution, and the handling of adverse actions against licensees. It ensures that existing laws in member states that do not conflict with the compact remain in effect, while conflicting laws will be superseded. The compact is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, following an emergency declaration.
