Bill Summary
Dietitian Licensure Compact. Authorizes Virginia to be a signatory to the Dietitian Licensure Compact in order to increase public access to dietetics services and provide opportunities for interstate practice by licensed dietitians who meet uniform requirements. The Compact is presently in effect, as it has reached the enactment threshold of seven member states.
AI Summary
This bill authorizes Virginia to join the Dietitian Licensure Compact, an agreement among states that allows licensed dietitians to practice in multiple member states without needing separate licenses in each. The Compact aims to improve public access to dietetic services by creating a streamlined process for interstate practice, reducing administrative burdens, and ensuring consistent standards. It establishes a Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission to oversee the agreement, which will manage a data system for tracking licensees and facilitate the exchange of information between states. The Compact also outlines requirements for licensure, defines terms like "Compact privilege" (the right to practice in another member state), and details procedures for adverse actions and dispute resolution.
