Interstate compact; dieticians
This bill allows Alabama's Board of Examiners for Dietetics/Nutrition Practice to join the Dietitian Licensure Compact, a multistate agreement that simplifies licensing for dietitians. Under this new framework, qualified dietitians who hold a license in their home state can practice in other member states without needing separate licenses for each location. The compact aims to improve public access to nutrition services, reduce administrative burdens, and specifically support active military members and their spouses who frequently relocate. It establishes a commission to oversee the agreement and ensures that dietitians remain accountable to the laws of the state where they are treating patients.
