Summary

The bill splits the current single "licensed dietitian/nutritionist" title into two distinct licenses – one for dietitians and one for nutritionists – each with its own education, practice and examination standards. It also updates the Board of Dietetics/Nutrition’s composition, defines scopes of practice, and protects the right to share general nutrition information. The changes aim to improve public safety while expanding access to qualified nutrition professionals.
