AI Summary
- Georgia would enter the Dietitian Licensure Compact, an interstate agreement allowing licensed dietitians to practice across member states through a "Compact Privilege" without obtaining separate licenses in each state
- The Georgia Board of Examiners of Licensed Dietitians would administer the compact and gain authority to conduct national background checks via FBI fingerprint submissions through the Georgia Crime Information Center, with results prohibited from being shared outside the state
- Eligible dietitians must hold an unencumbered home state license, meet education and examination requirements (including a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited program and at least 1,000 hours of supervised practice), and satisfy any jurisprudence requirements of the remote state
- The compact establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency with rulemaking authority, a 9-member Executive Committee, a shared Data System for licensure and disciplinary information, and the power to levy annual assessments on member states
- The compact takes effect when enacted by 7 states, allows member states to take adverse action against a licensee's compact privilege, and permits withdrawal with 180 days' notice after enactment of a repealing statute
