Plain-language change summary

The changes to Bill SB 2223 involve the establishment of a chapter in the North Dakota Century Code that brings the state into the dietitian licensure compact. This compact aims to allow dietitians to practice across state lines more easily while still maintaining state regulatory authority to ensure public health and safety. By removing the need for multiple state licenses, it simplifies the process for licensed dietitians and helps improve access to dietetic services for the public. Overall, this change is important as it supports better healthcare access and streamlines the licensing process for professionals in the field.
