Bill > HB1961

This bill establishes provisions for dietitians, including creating a "Dietitian Licensure Compact" to facilitate interstate practice and improve public access to dietetics services by allowing licensed dietitians to obtain a "Compact Privilege" to practice in other member states without needing multiple licenses. It also introduces a process for dietitians licensed in other states to obtain a Missouri license by waiving certain requirements if they meet specific criteria, and provides for non-renewable temporary licenses for those supervised by a licensed dietitian. The bill defines terms like "License" (a permit to practice), "Military" (armed forces), and "Nonresident military spouse" (a spouse of active-duty military personnel who is a nonresident of Missouri), and outlines the structure and powers of the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission, which will oversee the compact and its rules.
