Amendment 7 is a Wisconsin Dietitian Licensing Bill that passed the Committee on Homeland and State Affairs. We ask you to stop this amendment because:
- The scope of practice in Amendment 7 defines a practice of dietetics that would prevent other nutrition practitioners from practicing.
- There are MANY alternative nutrition professionals qualified to provide specific nutrition care services to individuals besides dietitians. .
- The scope of practice in this bill could potentially severely damage the careers of 600+ nutrition professionals currently practicing in WI, eliminating their jobs and livelihoods.
- This bill will limit freedom of choice for consumers and disempower them. .
