ID S1284

Idaho would join the Dietitian Licensure Compact, allowing licensed dietitians to practice across member states without obtaining separate licenses in each state through a "compact privilege" system

Dietitians must hold an unencumbered license in their home state and meet qualifications including current registration as a registered dietitian or completion of an accredited master's/doctoral degree program plus 1,000 hours of supervised practice and passage of a national credentialing examination

Establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency with one delegate per member state to administer the compact, promulgate rules, maintain a coordinated data system, and handle compliance and disciplinary information

The compact becomes effective when enacted by seven states, with member states retaining authority to take adverse action against a licensee's compact privilege and sharing investigative and disciplinary information through a centralized data system

Declared an emergency measure effective July 1, 2026, with provisions supporting military members and spouses who may designate a home state and retain that designation during active duty periods
