The proposed bill enacts the Dietitian Licensure Compact, designed to enhance the interstate practice of dietetics while preserving state regulatory authority. This compact allows licensed dietitians to practice in member states without obtaining multiple licenses, thereby reducing administrative burdens and improving public access to dietetic services. Key features of the bill include the establishment of a compact privilege for qualified nutritionists, requirements for criminal background checks for licensure, and the formation of a compact commission to oversee the implementation and enforcement of the compact's rules. The bill also ensures that member states maintain mechanisms for investigating complaints and comply with the compact's regulations.

Additionally, the bill outlines the governance structure of the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission, detailing the selection of delegates, the commission's powers, and procedures for meetings. It mandates that disciplinary orders from a home state must revoke a licensee's compact privileges during the order's pendency and sets requirements for reapplying for compact privileges once a license is restored. The bill also includes provisions for emergency rule adoption, oversight, and dispute resolution, with the compact taking effect upon enactment by the seventh member state. Furthermore, it includes a codification instruction to integrate its provisions into existing law.
