The proposed bill establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact, which facilitates the practice of dietetics across member states, allowing licensed dietitians to operate without obtaining multiple licenses while maintaining state regulatory authority. The compact aims to enhance public access to nutrition services, reduce administrative burdens, and promote cooperation among states in regulating dietetic practices. Key provisions include the requirement for criminal background checks for licensure, the establishment of a compact privilege for qualified nutritionists, and specific definitions related to the compact, such as "compact privilege," "home state," and "remote state."

Additionally, the bill creates a Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission, composed of delegates from each member state's licensing authority, responsible for overseeing the compact's administration, rulemaking, and financial management. The commission will maintain a coordinated data system for tracking licensure and adverse actions, ensuring member states report such actions uniformly. The bill also outlines the process for states to withdraw from the compact and includes provisions for dispute resolution and enforcement mechanisms, with the compact becoming effective upon enactment by the seventh member state.
