What’s in it
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. This bill establishes the dietitian licensure compact. The compact establishes a system whereby a dietitian licensed to practice in one member state may practice in another member state under a multistate license without applying for a license in that state. The compact imposes certain minimum requirements on the licensure of dietitians in member states. The compact creates a commission to administer the operation of the compact.
Read the full explanation
The commission is an instrumentality of the member states. The compact includes provisions relating to the establishment and membership of the commission; powers of the commission, meetings and voting requirements of the commission; commission bylaws and rules; commission committees; commission finances; the establishment of a licensure data system; oversight by member states; compacting state compliance; venue for judicial proceedings; defense and indemnification; effective dates and amendments to the compact; withdrawal, default, and expulsion; severability and construction; and the binding effect of the compact and other laws. The compact becomes effective upon the adoption of the compact by the seventh participating state.
