The bill establishes the "Dietitian Licensure Compact", which is an interstate agreement that allows the practice of dietetics across state lines with other states that are a part of the Compact. The bill outlines the licensing requirements, education requirements for the dietitians, and the duties of the member states.
The bill further proposes to create and establish a joint government agency known as the "Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission", which will administer and enforce the Compact, adopt rules and bylaws, maintain a data system, investigate complaints, report complaints to home states of dietitians, and perform other functions necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of the Compact.
Provisions of the bill ensure the Compact will not affect Missouri's license reciprocity laws.
