AI Summary

  • Wisconsin ratifies the Dietitian Licensure Compact, allowing licensed dietitians from member states to practice in Wisconsin through a "compact privilege" without obtaining a separate Wisconsin license
  • Creates the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission, a joint government agency of member states, with Wisconsin's delegate appointed by the Dietitians Affiliated Credentialing Board
  • The compact becomes effective when enacted by 7 states; licensees must hold an unencumbered home state license, meet education and examination requirements, and pass criminal background checks to obtain compact privileges
  • Establishes two certificate types for Wisconsin dietitians: a standard certificate enabling compact privileges in other member states, or a single-state certificate for practice only in Wisconsin
  • Amends multiple Wisconsin statutes to recognize dietitians holding compact privileges as equivalent to state-certified dietitians for purposes of health care provider definitions, insurance coverage, and patient record access
