OK SB805

Oklahoma enacts the Dietitian Licensure Compact, authorizing the Governor to enter into an interstate agreement allowing licensed dietitians to practice across member states without obtaining separate licenses in each state

Licensed dietitians with an unencumbered home state license can obtain a "Compact Privilege" to practice in other member states by meeting uniform requirements including current registration as a Registered Dietitian or equivalent education, supervised practice (minimum 1,000 hours), and passing a national credentialing examination

The Compact establishes a Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency with one delegate per member state to administer the agreement, maintain a coordinated data system, and promulgate rules

Applicants for Oklahoma dietitian licensure must now submit to a national fingerprint-based FBI criminal background check as a condition of eligibility

The Compact takes effect when enacted by seven states and becomes effective in Oklahoma on November 1, 2025
