Temporary Licensing Requirements

The NC Board of Dietetics adopted the following position statement at their April 20, 2020 Board meeting:

Whereas, on April 8, 2020, Governor Cooper issued Executive Order 130, providing under Section 3(A) the authority to each professional health care licensure board to waive or modify enforcement of any legal or regulatory constraints that would prevent or impair persons from providing care if they are licensed in states, territories, or the District of Columbia, but are not licensed in NC, the North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition (the NCBDN) formally temporarily waives dietetics/nutrition licensure requirements for persons licensed in other states, territories, or the District of Columbia.

As of February 9, 2021, the provision noted above was extended by Executive Order 193. This position will remain in effect until May 10, 2021, unless Executive Order 193 is rescinded or replaced with a superseding Executive Order. Additionally, an Executive Order rescinding the Declaration of the State of Emergency will automatically rescind this position of the Board.
