Bill > SB1092

This bill modifies existing Missouri statutes related to professional licensing, primarily by introducing provisions for interstate compacts for various professions, including dietitians, dentists, dental hygienists, and physician assistants, allowing for easier portability of licenses across participating states. It also introduces a one-time, non-renewable two-year temporary license for individuals with significant work experience in an occupation that is licensed in Missouri but not where they previously worked, provided they meet certain criteria and pass a state-specific exam if required. Additionally, the bill reduces the required years of practice experience for social work supervisors from five to three years to qualify for supervision roles. The bill also makes technical changes to existing licensing requirements for dentists and dental hygienists, and clarifies definitions related to social work practice.
