House Bill 317 as passed the House of Representatives 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.
