SB 805 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Professions and occupations; enacting the Dietitian Licensure Compact; authorizing the Governor to enter into Compact with certain jurisdictions. Effective date.

SB 805 establishes Oklahoma's participation in the Dietitian Licensure Compact, enabling licensed dietitians to practice across state lines without obtaining separate licenses in each state. It directly affects licensed dietitians, military members relocating with spouses, and healthcare providers seeking to expand services across participating states. The key mechanism is the "Compact Privilege," which grants authorized dietitians the right to practice in any member state that has adopted the compact, while preserving each state's authority to regulate practice and protect public health. This reduces administrative burdens for both professionals and states, increases public access to dietetics services, and streamlines licensure for those moving between member jurisdictions.
