Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2028)

Sec. 80. Use of title; advertising.

(a) Only a person who is issued a license as a dietitian nutritionist under
this Act may use the words "licensed dietitian nutritionist", "dietitian nutritionist", or "dietitian" or the letters "L.D.N." or hold oneself out as qualified or licensed to practice under this Act in connection
with his or her name.

(b) A licensee shall include in every advertisement for services regulated
under this Act his or her title as it appears on the license or the
initials authorized under this Act. Advertisements shall not include false, fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading material or guarantees of success.

(c) Use of an earned, federally trademarked nutrition credential is not prohibited, but such use does not give an individual the right to practice dietetics or nutrition or provide medical nutrition therapy unless the individual is licensed under this Act.
