The General Assembly acknowledges that the application of scientific knowledge relating to nutrition is important in the treatment of disease and in the attainment and maintenance of health; and acknowledges further that the rendering of sound dietetic or nutrition services in hospitals, nursing homes, school districts, health departments, private practice and consultation, and in other settings requires trained and competent professionals. It is declared, therefore, to be the purpose of this chapter to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public by providing for the licensure and regulation of the activities of persons engaged in dietetic practice.
