Testimony confirmed that NH is one of 27 states aiming to file for the compact which allows for patient continuity with their dieticians as they travel for work or school.

A dietician who testified before the committee maintains and pays for 15 different state licenses. A compact eliminates paying for a multitude of licenses.

The home state shall complete any pending investigations of a licensee who changes home states during the course of the investigations. The home state shall also have authority to take appropriate action(s) and shall promptly report the conclusions of the investigations to the administrator of the data system. The administrator of the data system shall promptly notify the new home state of any adverse actions.\nE. A member state, if otherwise permitted by state law, may recover from the affected licensee the costs of investigations and dispositions of cases resulting from any adverse action taken against that licensee.\nF.

All home state disciplinary orders that impose adverse action against a licensee shall include a statement that the licensee\u2019s compact privileges are revoked in all member states during the pendency of the order.\nI. Once an encumbered license in the home state is restored to an unencumbered license (as certified by the home state\u2019s licensing authority), the licensee must meet the requirements of section 4(A) and follow the administrative requirements to reapply to obtain a compact privilege in any remote state.\nJ. If a member state takes adverse action, it shall promptly notify the administrator of the data system. The administrator of the data system shall promptly notify the other member states state of any adverse actions.\nK.

RULEMAKING.\nA. The compact commission shall promulgate reasonable rules in order to effectively and efficiently implement and administer the purposes and provisions of the compact. A rule shall be invalid and have no force or effect only if a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the rule is invalid because the compact commission exercised its rulemaking authority in a manner that is beyond the scope and purposes of the compact, or the powers granted hereunder, or based upon another applicable standard of review.\nB. The rules of the compact commission shall have the force of law in each member state, provided however that where the rules conflict with the laws or regulations of a member state that relate to the procedures, actions, and processes a licensed dietitian is permitted to undertake in that state and the circumstances under which they may do so, as held by a court of competent jurisdiction, the rules of the compact commission shall be ineffective in that state to the extent of the conflict.\nC. The compact commission shall exercise its rulemaking powers pursuant to the criteria set forth in this section and the rules adopted thereunder. Rules shall become binding on the day following adoption or as of the date specified in the rule or amendment, whichever is later.\nD. If a majority of the legislatures of the member states rejects a rule or portion of a rule, by enactment of a statute or resolution in the same manner used to adopt the compact within 4 years of the date of adoption of the rule, then such rule shall have no further force and effect in any member state.\nE. Rules shall be adopted at a regular or special meeting of the compact commission.\nF. Prior to adoption of a proposed rule, the compact commission shall hold a public hearing and allow persons to provide oral and written comments, data, facts, opinions, and arguments.\nG. Prior to adoption of a proposed rule by the compact commission, and at least 30 days in advance of the meeting at which the compact commission will hold a public hearing on the proposed rule, the compact commission shall provide a notice of proposed rulemaking:\n1.

Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring a separate hearing on each rule. Rules may be grouped for the convenience of the compact commission at hearings required by this section.\nK. The compact commission shall, by majority vote of all members, take final action on the proposed rule based on the rulemaking record and the full text of the rule.\n1. The compact commission may adopt changes to the proposed rule provided the changes do not enlarge the original purpose of the proposed rule.\n2. The compact commission shall provide an explanation of the reasons for substantive changes made to the proposed rule as well as reasons for substantive changes not made that were recommended by commenters.\n3. The compact commission shall determine a reasonable effective date for the rule. Except for an emergency as provided in section 10(L), the effective date of the rule shall be no sooner than 30 days after issuing the notice that it adopted or amended the rule.\nL. Upon determination that an emergency exists, the compact commission may consider and adopt an emergency rule with 24 hours\u2019 notice, with opportunity to comment, provided that the usual rulemaking procedures provided in the compact and in this section shall be retroactively applied to the rule as soon as reasonably possible, in no event later than 90 days after the effective date of the rule. For the purposes of this provision, an emergency rule is one that must be adopted immediately in order to:\n1. Meet an imminent threat to public health, safety, or welfare;\n2. Prevent a loss of compact commission or member state funds;\n3. Meet a deadline for the promulgation of a rule that is established by federal law or rule; or\n4. Protect public health and safety.\nM. The compact commission or an authorized committee of the compact commission may direct revision to a previously adopted rule for purposes of correcting typographical errors, errors in format, errors in consistency, or grammatical errors. Public notice of any revision shall be posted on the website of the compact commission. The revision shall be subject to challenge by any person for a period of 30 days after posting. The revision may be challenged only on grounds that the revision results in a material change to a rule. A challenge shall be made in writing and delivered to the compact commission prior to the end of the notice period. If no challenge is made, the revision will take effect without further action. If the revision is challenged, the revision may not take effect without the approval of the compact commission.\nN.

The compact commission may waive venue and jurisdictional defenses to the extent it adopts or consents to participate in alternative dispute resolution proceedings. Nothing herein shall affect or limit the selection or propriety of venue in any action against a licensee for professional malpractice, misconduct, or any such similar matter.\n3. The compact commission shall be entitled to receive service of process in any proceeding regarding the enforcement or interpretation of the compact and shall have standing to intervene in such a proceeding for all purposes. Failure to provide the compact commission service of process shall render a judgment or order void as to the compact commission, this compact, or promulgated rules.\nB. Default, technical assistance, and termination.\n1. If the compact commission determines that a member state has defaulted in the performance of its obligations or responsibilities under this compact or the promulgated rules, the compact commission shall provide written notice to the defaulting state.

The compact commission shall provide a copy of the notice of default to the other member states.\nC.

A cure of the default does not relieve the offending state of obligations or liabilities incurred during the period of default.\nD. Termination of membership in the compact shall be imposed only after all other means of securing compliance have been exhausted. Notice of intent to suspend or terminate shall be given by the compact commission to the governor, the majority and minority leaders of the defaulting state\u2019s legislature, the defaulting state\u2019s licensing authority, and each of the member states\u2019 licensing authority.\nE.

The terminated state shall continue to recognize all compact privileges granted pursuant to this compact for a minimum of 6 months after the date of said notice of termination.\nG. The compact commission shall not bear any costs related to a state that is found to be in default or that has been terminated from the compact, unless agreed upon in writing between the compact commission and the defaulting state.\nH. The defaulting state may appeal the action of the compact commission by petitioning the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or the federal district where the compact commission has its principal offices. The prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney\u2019s fees.\nI. Dispute resolution.\n1. Upon request by a member state, the compact commission shall attempt to resolve disputes related to the compact that arise among member states and between member and non-member states.\n2.

By supermajority vote, the compact commission may initiate legal action against a member state in default in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or the federal district where the compact commission has its principal offices to enforce compliance with the provisions of the compact and its promulgated rules. The relief sought may include both injunctive relief and damages. In the event judicial enforcement is necessary, the prevailing party shall be awarded all costs of such litigation, including reasonable attorney\u2019s fees. The remedies herein shall not be the exclusive remedies of the compact commission. The compact commission may pursue any other remedies available under federal or the defaulting member state\u2019s law.\n2. A member state may initiate legal action against the compact commission in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or the federal district where the compact commission has its principal offices to enforce compliance with the provisions of the compact and its promulgated rules.

A charter member state whose enactment is found to be materially different from the model compact statute shall be entitled to the default process set forth in section 11.\nb. If any member state is later found to be in default, or is terminated, or withdraws from the compact, the compact commission shall remain in existence and the compact shall remain in effect even if the number of member states should be less than 7.\n2. Member states enacting the compact subsequent to the 7 initial charter member states shall be subject to the process set forth in section 8(C)(21) to determine if their enactments are materially different from the model compact statute and whether they qualify for participation in the compact.\n3. All actions taken for the benefit of the compact commission or in furtherance of the purposes of the administration of the compact prior to the effective date of the compact or the compact commission coming into existence shall be considered to be actions of the compact commission unless specifically repudiated by the compact commission.\n4. Any state that joins the compact subsequent to the compact commission\u2019s initial adoption of the rules and bylaws shall be subject to the rules and bylaws as they exist on the date on which the compact becomes law in that state. Any rule that has been previously adopted by the compact commission shall have the full force and effect of law on the day the compact becomes law in that state.\nB. Any member state may withdraw from this compact by enacting a statute repealing the same.\n1. A member state\u2019s withdrawal shall not take effect until 180 days after enactment of the repealing statute.\n2. Withdrawal shall not affect the continuing requirement of the withdrawing state\u2019s licensing authority to comply with the investigative and adverse action reporting requirements of this compact prior to the effective date of withdrawal.\n3. Upon the enactment of a statute withdrawing from this compact, a state shall immediately provide notice of such withdrawal to all licensees within that state. Notwithstanding any subsequent statutory enactment to the contrary, such withdrawing state shall continue to recognize all compact privileges granted pursuant to this compact for a minimum of 180 days after the date of such notice of withdrawal.\nC. Nothing contained in this compact shall be construed to invalidate or prevent any licensure agreement or other cooperative arrangement between a member state and a non-member state that does not conflict with the provisions of this compact.\nD. This compact may be amended by the member states. No amendment to this compact shall become effective and binding upon any member state until it is enacted into the laws of all member states.\nSECTION 13. CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERABILITY.\nA. This compact and the compact commission\u2019s rulemaking authority shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate the purposes and the implementation and administration of the compact. Provisions of the compact expressly authorizing or requiring the promulgation of rules shall not be construed to limit the compact commission\u2019s rulemaking authority solely for those purposes.\nB. The provisions of this compact shall be severable and if any phrase, clause, sentence, or provision of this compact is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to the constitution of any member state, a state seeking participation in the compact, or of the United States, or the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person, or circumstance is held to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity of the remainder of this compact and the applicability thereof to any other government, agency, person, or circumstance shall not be affected thereby.\nC. Notwithstanding section 13(B), the compact commission may deny a state\u2019s participation in the compact or, in accordance with the requirements of section 11(B), terminate a member state\u2019s participation in the compact, if it determines that a constitutional requirement of a member state is a material departure from the compact. Otherwise, if this compact shall be held to be contrary to the constitution of any member state, the compact shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining member states and in full force and effect as to the member state affected as to all severable matters.\nSECTION 14. CONSISTENT EFFECT AND CONFLICT WITH OTHER STATE LAWS.\nA. Nothing herein shall prevent or inhibit the enforcement of any other law of a member state that is not inconsistent with the compact.\nB.
