What Does Texas SB 25 Mean for Dietitians?
Texas Senate Bill 25 establishes a nutrition and metabolic health continuing education requirement for multiple healthcare professions licensed in Texas, including registered dietitians and licensed dietitians. While dietitians already maintain strong nutrition knowledge through their training and CDR recertification, SB 25 formalizes a state-level requirement that nutrition and metabolic health CE be included in renewal hours beginning in 2027.
For dietitians, this means ensuring that at least a portion of your CE hours specifically addresses the nutrition and metabolic health topics outlined by SB 25 — particularly as they relate to chronic disease prevention and evidence-based clinical interventions.
Texas Dietitian Renewal Cycle
Texas dietitian licenses are valid for 2 years from the date of issuance and are renewed biennially through TDLR. You must complete 12 hours of CE during each 2-year licensing period. Separately, CDR registration requires 75 CPEUs every 5 years.
Beginning with renewals on or after January 1, 2027, nutrition and metabolic health CE must be included among your completed hours under SB 25. This requirement applies at the state level through TDLR, and the course credit also counts toward your CDR recertification cycle.
Texas has over 8,100 registered dietitians and dietitian nutritionists, all of whom will be affected by this requirement.
