DIETITIANS -- Adds to existing law to provide for Idaho's participation in the dietitian licensure compact.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation adopts the Dietitian Licensure Compact in Idaho. The compact allows licensed dietitians who meet uniform requirements to practice across state lines without obtaining multiple state licenses. The compact improves public access to dietetic and nutrition services, including telehealth, while preserving Idaho’s authority to regulate the practice of dietetics and protect public health and safety. Each state retains full control over licensure standards, enforcement of state practice laws, and disciplinary actions taken against licensees. Participation in the compact reduces administrative burden for dietitians and licensing authorities, supports workforce mobility, and assists active-duty military members and their spouses who relocate frequently. The compact also establishes a secure data-sharing system so member states can quickly exchange licensure and disciplinary information. The bill creates a new section in Idaho Code to authorize Idaho’s participation in the compact and provides for implementation consistent with Idaho law.
