Bill > SB1233

This bill modifies various provisions related to the licensing of professionals in Missouri. Key changes include the establishment of a "Dietitian Licensure Compact" to facilitate interstate practice, the creation of a "Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact" for similar purposes, and the "Physician Assistant Licensure Compact." It also expands the scope of the Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors, and Professional Landscape Architects to include licensed interior designers, transferring the powers and duties of the Interior Design Council to this board. The bill also updates educational and experience requirements for certified public accountants (CPAs), clarifies rules for out-of-state CPAs practicing in Missouri, and allows pharmacists to administer a broader range of vaccines. Additionally, it introduces provisions for emergency suspension of licenses for certain professions if there's an imminent risk to public health and safety due to criminal charges, and allows for temporary licenses for dietitians under supervision. The bill also makes technical changes to existing statutes concerning various professional licensing boards and their functions.
