HB 811 -- DIETITIANS

SPONSOR:  Wasson

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Special
Committee on Professional Registration and Licensing by a vote of
11 to 0.

This bill requires an applicant for licensure as a dietitian to
possess a current registration with the Commission on Dietetic
Registration, the credentialing agency for the American Dietetic
Association.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2010, FY 2011, and
FY 2012.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that licensees currently only have to
provide proof that at some time they were certified with the
Commission on Dietetic Registration.  It is important that they
be required to possess current registration in order to renew
their licenses.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Wasson; State
Committee of Dietitians, Department of Insurance, Financial
Institutions and Professional Registration; and Missouri Dietetic
Association.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
