This bill would join Kentucky to a multi-state agreement called the Dietitian Licensure Compact, which allows licensed dietitians to more easily practice across state lines without obtaining a separate license in each state. It sets up the rules for how Kentucky dietitians could work in other member states and how dietitians from other states could practice here, and includes special provisions for military members. The compact would also create a shared government body to oversee and enforce the agreement among participating states. Who it may affect: licensed dietitians, people seeking nutrition services, and active military members who relocate between states.
