AI Summary

  • Enacts 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 applicants for compact privileges to submit fingerprints for FBI and state criminal background checks, hold an unencumbered license in their home state, and meet educational requirements including a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited program

  • Establishes the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission as a joint government agency of member states with authority to promulgate rules, collect fees, maintain a shared data system, and take enforcement actions against non-compliant states

  • Allows active military members and their spouses to designate a home state for licensure purposes and retain that designation during active duty service

  • Compact becomes effective when seven states enact it; member states may withdraw with 180 days' notice but must continue recognizing compact privileges during that period
