The bill establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact, designed to enhance the interstate practice of dietetics and improve public access to dietetic services while preserving state regulatory authority. It allows licensed dietitians to practice across member states without the need for multiple licenses, thereby reducing administrative burdens. Key features of the compact include the creation 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. States wishing to join must currently license dietetics and have complaint investigation mechanisms in place.

The compact commission, a joint government agency formed by member states, will manage the compact's administration, including rulemaking, financial oversight, and maintaining a coordinated data system for tracking licensure and adverse actions. The bill mandates that disciplinary orders from a home state must revoke a licensee's compact privileges during the order's duration and requires member states to report adverse actions to the commission. Additionally, the compact will take effect once enacted by seven member states, with provisions for withdrawal and continuity even if membership falls below seven. Overall, the bill aims to create a streamlined and cohesive framework for the licensure and regulation of dietitians across participating states.
