Bill > SB1083

This bill modifies provisions related to professional licensing in Missouri by repealing and reenacting several sections of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo). A key change is the integration of licensed interior designers into the Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors, and Professional Landscape Architects, renaming it to include "Licensed Interior Designers." This involves abolishing the Interior Design Council and transferring its powers and responsibilities to the newly expanded board. The bill also clarifies the definitions and scope of practice for licensed interior designers, aligning them with other licensed professions. Additionally, it updates requirements for professional licensing, including background checks for physicians and respiratory care practitioners, and modifies rules regarding continuing education and disciplinary actions for various professions. The bill also establishes a "Professional Registration Fees Fund" for administrative costs and clarifies the confidentiality of certain professional records while allowing for necessary disclosures.
