SB 2664 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Dietitian Licensure Compact; ratify.

SB 2664 ratifies Mississippi's entry into the Dietitian Licensure Compact, allowing licensed dietitians from Mississippi to practice in other participating states without obtaining separate licenses. The compact creates a "compact privilege" equivalent to a license in the state where care is provided (the "remote state"), eliminating the need for multiple state licenses while requiring dietitians to meet uniform standards. This increases public access to dietetics services, reduces administrative burdens for professionals and states, and ensures dietitians remain accountable to the state where the patient is located during care.
