Summary
The Dietetics and Nutrition Practice Act establishes a Board of Dietitian and Nutritionist Examiners to license anyone offering dietetic or nutrition services. It limits the use of the titles "dietitian" and "nutritionist" to those who meet defined education, training, and competency standards, protecting consumers from unqualified advice.
