What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill amends the Department of Health Service's administrative code to

allow attending physicians to delegate prescribing of a nursing home resident's

therapeutic diet to a certified dietitian and prescribing of a modified diet of a resident

of a facility serving persons with developmental disabilities to a certified dietitian.

Currently, the administrative code allows only physicians to order therapeutic diets

in nursing homes and modified diets in facilities serving persons with developmental

disabilities.
