Legislative Action Alert – North Carolina, May 10th

LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT
UPDATE: Despite a joint effort between the dietitians, nutritionists, and the holistic community, to pass legislation that would dramatically improve the practice of nutrition in North Carolina, the state Senate declined to bring the bill up for a vote before the legislature recessed for the summer. The Assembly had previously passed this bill unanimously, but there was little interest in working on further licensure legislation this session. We will continue to push for a clear exemption to the practice of nutrition so that everyone may practice openly.
NORTH CAROLINA GRADS (And those who wish to practice Nutritional Therapy in NC),
North Carolina has scheduled a hearing on legislation that would give our practitioners the right to practice freely, with little restriction, including the right to telepractice! We need your help and participation to make this change in the laws. Please send out the attached updated alert to everyone you know in North Carolina as soon as possible. There are two letters that can be sent to your representative, one for practitioners, and another for supporters. We suggest sending both and sharing with your family and friends so they can be forwarded.
The hearing is scheduled for May 10th and the details are in the memo. The dietitians and nutritionists arein agreement on this and we are presenting a unified front.
