The proposed bill seeks to adopt the Dietitian Licensure Compact, which will streamline the practice of dietetics across member states, allowing licensed dietitians to work without obtaining multiple licenses. This initiative aims to improve public access to nutrition services while preserving state regulatory authority. Key features of the compact include the establishment of a compact privilege for qualified dietitians, requirements for criminal background checks for licensure, and the formation of a compact commission to oversee the compact's implementation and enforcement. The bill also emphasizes compliance with state laws and includes provisions to support active military members and their spouses in maintaining their licensure.

Additionally, the bill outlines the structure and operational procedures of the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission, including the selection of delegates and the commission's powers. It introduces new provisions for transparency in the rulemaking process, requiring public hearings and accessibility of related documents. The bill mandates that applicants undergo state and federal criminal background checks, with associated fees borne by the applicants. It also specifies that the act will take effect once enacted by the seventh member state, aiming to enhance the regulatory framework of the compact while ensuring adherence to established standards.
