HF 532: Enacting the dietitian licensure compact

What it does

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.
