Creates provisions relating to dietitians

HB 397 creates new provisions for dietitian licensing in Missouri, primarily benefiting military spouses and facilitating interstate practice. It allows licensed dietitians from other states (with at least one year of licensure) to apply for a Missouri license without retaking exams or meeting additional education/experience requirements, specifically waiving these for nonresident and resident military spouses who have relocated to Missouri. The bill also establishes the "Dietitian Licensure Compact," enabling licensed dietitians to practice across participating states without multiple licenses while maintaining state regulatory authority. The legislation is pending final approval after passing committee review and a public hearing.
