Dietitian Licensure Compact; enact.

SB 2665 aimed to enact Mississippi's participation in the Dietitian Licensure Compact, a multi-state agreement allowing licensed dietitians to practice across participating states without obtaining separate licenses in each. The compact would grant "Compact Privilege" to dietitians licensed in Mississippi (the "Home State"), enabling them to practice in other member states ("Remote States") by meeting uniform requirements like continuing education and passing a jurisprudence exam. Key provisions include preserving each state's regulatory authority over practice, requiring dietitians to follow the laws of the state where the patient is located, and creating a shared system for disciplinary information between states. This would directly affect licensed dietitians seeking interstate practice and improve public access to dietetic services by reducing administrative barriers.
