AI Summary

  • Establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact allowing licensed dietitians to practice across member states without obtaining separate licenses in each state through a "compact privilege" system.

  • Requires dietitians seeking compact privileges to hold current registration as a registered dietitian, maintain an unencumbered license in their home state, and complete FBI fingerprint-based criminal background checks.

  • Creates the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency of member states to administer the compact, establish rules, maintain a data system, and coordinate regulatory activities.

  • Authorizes member states to take adverse actions against a licensee's compact privilege within their jurisdiction while reserving to the home state the exclusive authority to take action against the home state license.

  • Provides special provisions for active military members and their spouses to designate a home state and retain that designation during active duty service.
