Dietetics Practice Act
Georgia · Professions and Businesses · §§ 43-11A-1 to 43-11A-9 · 18 sections
Overview
The act regulates the practice of dietetics and nutrition, requiring practitioners to hold a license before offering dietetic services to the public. It establishes a state board of examiners with defined membership qualifications, appointment and removal procedures, and rulemaking powers, and charges that board with setting eligibility standards, administering examinations, issuing licenses — including provisional permits and licensure without examination for qualifying applicants — and acting on applications. It also authorizes the board to refuse, suspend, or revoke licenses and impose other discipline, subject to state administrative procedure requirements, and it carves out exceptions for practitioners and activities not covered by the licensing requirement.
