House Bill 317 as introduced would allow the Alabama Board of Examiners for Dietetic &
Nutrition Practice to join the interstate Dietitian Licensure Compact. The provisions of this bill:
(1) would increase the financial obligations of the Board by an undetermined amount dependent
on the amount of the annual assessment fee levied by the Dietitian Licensure Compact
Commission on each member state to cover the costs of its operations, activities, staff, and
annual budget as authorized in the compact; (2) could decrease the amount of license fees
currently collected from licensed dietitians with out-of-state residences who decide to become
licensed in their home state and practice in Alabama under the compact privilege by an
estimated $83,000 every biennium; and (3) would increase receipts to the Board from fees
imposed for the compact privilege license by an undetermined amount dependent upon the
number of licenses issued and the fee amount set by the Board.
Further, this bill would increase the administrative obligations of the Board to submit
information to the commission's licensure database as provided for by the provisions of this bill.
