South Dakota is adopting an interstate agreement that allows licensed dietitians to practice in multiple states without needing separate licenses in each state, making it easier for dietitians to relocate and serve patients across state lines. The bill requires dietitians participating in this compact to undergo a fingerprint-based criminal background check at their own cost. This agreement reduces paperwork burdens on both dietitians and state regulators while maintaining South Dakota's ability to protect public health and safety.
