Bill > HB2088

This bill establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact, a framework for dietitians to practice across state lines more easily. The compact aims to increase public access to dietetics services by allowing licensed dietitians to obtain a "compact privilege" to practice in other member states, eliminating the need for multiple licenses and reducing administrative burdens. It creates a Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission, a joint government agency composed of all member states, to oversee the compact's implementation and administration, including maintaining a data system for licensee information and handling investigations and adverse actions. The bill also outlines the qualifications for obtaining a compact privilege, which generally require holding an unencumbered license in a home state and meeting specific educational and examination standards, while preserving the regulatory authority of individual states to protect public health and safety. Importantly, active military members and their spouses are given special consideration for designating a home state.
