The proposed bill establishes the "dietitian compact," designed to enhance the interstate practice of dietetics, thereby improving public access to dietetic services while preserving state regulatory authority. This compact allows licensed dietitians who meet uniform criteria to practice across member states without the need for multiple licenses, which reduces administrative burdens and bolsters public health protections. Key goals include increasing access to dietetic services, supporting military families, and fostering inter-state cooperation in regulating multistate practices. The bill also introduces a "compact privilege" for dietitians to practice in remote states, contingent upon holding an unencumbered license in their home state and complying with the laws of the remote state.

The bill establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission, which will oversee the implementation of the compact and includes provisions for governance, rulemaking, and enforcement. It outlines the commission's authority to create rules that have the force of law in member states, provided they do not conflict with existing state laws. Additionally, the bill mandates the sharing of investigative information among member states, specifies procedures for handling adverse actions against licensees, and ensures that the commission members are granted immunity and indemnification. The compact also includes mechanisms for oversight, dispute resolution, and the process for states to withdraw from the compact, emphasizing that amendments require the consent of all member states to take effect.
