SB 2665 - Dietitian Licensure Compact; enact.

Overview

Bill Number: SB 2665
Title: Dietitian Licensure Compact; enact.
Status: Died In Committee
Introduced: March 13, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The purpose of SB 2665 is to establish the Dietitian Licensure Compact, which would allow for the mutual recognition of dietitian licenses between participating states. The intent is to improve access to dietitian services by enabling licensed dietitians to practice across state lines, while maintaining consistent standards of education, examination, and licensure.

Key Provisions

  • Creates the Dietitian Licensure Compact, which would be administered by the Dietitian Licensure Compact Commission.
  • Allows licensed dietitians to practice in other compact member states without obtaining an additional license.
  • Establishes uniform licensure requirements and standards for education, examination, and continuing education.
  • Requires dietitians to comply with the practice laws and regulations of the state in which they are practicing under the compact.
  • Grants the Compact Commission authority to develop rules, bylaws, and procedures to implement and administer the compact.
  • Provides for disciplinary actions and information sharing between member states regarding dietitian misconduct.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Licensed dietitians would be able to more easily practice across state lines, improving access to their services for patients and clients.
  • State regulatory boards would maintain oversight of dietitian licensure and practice within their borders, while also participating in the compact's coordinated processes.
  • Patients and clients would benefit from increased access to licensed dietitian services, particularly in underserved or rural areas.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

SB 2665 was introduced in the state legislature on March 13, 2025 but ultimately died in committee without further action. The bill would have required adoption by the legislature and signature of the governor to enact the Dietitian Licensure Compact in the state. If passed, the compact would only take effect once a certain number of states had joined.
