FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Section 324.218 – Dietitian Licenses
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) assume this proposal
allows the State Committee of Dietitians to issue a nonrenewable temporary license to applicants
who have not taken or passed an examination recognized by the Committee who meet the
qualifications for licensure. This temporary license is good for 180 days or sooner if the
temporary license employment is ceased. This would require updates to the licensure system and
additional printing and postage
The Committee of Dietitians believes it will be able to issue the temporary licenses without an
additional FTE.
Temporary License Revenue
42 Estimated Temporary licenses (Annually)
$20 Temporary license fee
FY 2026 Total - $840
• Projected revenue reflects fees collected for all categories of licensure
• A 3% growth rate has been estimated
• It is estimated that the collection of initial license fees will begin in FY 2026.
• If the number of licensees largely vary from the number estimated above, the licensure fees will
be adjusted accordingly
In summary, DCI assumes a cost of $1,937 (Licensure System updates/Printing and Postage) in
FY 2025, a revenue of $700 ($840 Temporary Licenses Issued - $140 Printing and Postage) and
$720 in FY 2027 ($860 Temporary Licenses Issued - $140 Printing and Postage) as a result of
the implementation of the changes in this proposal.
Officials from the Office of Administration - Administrative Hearing Commission assume
the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any
information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note. L.R. No. 4414S.01I

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
This act establishes a temporary license for dietitians. Under the act, an applicant who has not
previous taken or passed an examination recognized by the State Committee of Dietitians
("Committee") and who meets the qualifications for licensure as a dietitian may obtain without
examination a nonrenewable temporary license by paying a temporary license fee and submitting
to the Committee an agreement-to-supervise form that is signed by a licensed dietitian who has
agreed to supervise the applicant and has active dietetics practice in this state for a minimum of
one year. The temporary license shall expire the date the Committee is notified by the
supervising dietitian that the temporary licensee's employment has ceased or within one hundred
eighty days of its issuance, whichever occurs first.
This act further provides that the supervising dietitian shall not be an immediate family member
of the temporary licensee. Additionally, the act requires the supervising dietitian to submit a
signed notarized form attesting that the applicant shall begin employment at a location in this L.R. No. 4414S.01I

state within seven days of issuance of the temporary license. If the temporary licensee's
employment ceases, the supervising dietitian shall notify the Committee within three days.
Finally, this act provides that a supervising dietitian shall not supervise more than one temporary
licensee at a time.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
