AI Summary
-
Washington would join an interstate compact allowing licensed dietitians to practice across member states without obtaining separate licenses in each state through a "compact privilege" system
-
Licensees must hold an unencumbered license in their home state and meet uniform requirements including a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited program, 1,000+ hours of supervised practice, and passing the CDR registration examination
-
Creates the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency to administer the compact, maintain a coordinated data system for licensee information, and promulgate rules with force of law in member states
-
The compact takes effect when enacted by seven states; member states retain authority over single-state license requirements while recognizing compact privileges granted by other member states
-
Active military members and their spouses may designate any member state where they hold a license in good standing as their home state during active duty periods
