Complete·4/16/25

Montana SB279 adopts the dietitian licensure compact to facilitate interstate practice of dietetics.

Montana SB279 adopts the dietitian licensure compact to improve public access to dietetics services. The compact allows dietitians to practice across state lines with a single license, reducing administrative burden. Member states must implement criminal background checks for licensure and share investigative information. The compact commission oversees the agreement, with powers including rulemaking, dispute resolution, and enforcement. Member states retain authority over single state licenses and continuing education requirements. The compact becomes effective when seven states adopt it.
