Bill > S1284

This bill enacts the Dietitian Licensure Compact, allowing Idaho to join other states in a reciprocal licensing agreement for dietitians. The compact aims to improve public access to dietitian services by enabling licensed dietitians to practice in multiple member states without needing separate licenses in each, while still preserving each state's authority to regulate the profession and protect public health. Key provisions include establishing a Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission to oversee the agreement, defining terms like "compact privilege" (the right to practice in a remote state) and "home state" (the licensee's primary state of residence), outlining requirements for obtaining a compact privilege, and detailing procedures for adverse actions and dispute resolution between member states. The bill also includes provisions for active-duty military members and their spouses, and specifies an effective date of July 1, 2026, declaring an emergency.
