AI Summary

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

  • Compact requires 7 states to enact the legislation before taking effect, creating a Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency to administer the agreement

  • Eligible dietitians must hold a valid registered dietitian credential or complete a master's/doctoral degree from an ACEND-accredited program, 1,000+ hours of supervised practice, and pass the CDR registration examination

  • Member states retain authority to take adverse action against licensees practicing in their jurisdiction, with home states responsible for disciplining home state licenses and sharing investigative information through a coordinated data system

  • Active military members and their spouses may designate a home state where they hold a current license in good standing and retain that designation during active duty service
