Bill > HB2300

This bill makes several changes to professional licensing laws in Missouri, including creating a one-time, nonrenewable two-year temporary license for individuals with at least three years of work experience in an occupation or profession in another state that requires a license in Missouri but not where they previously worked, provided they pass the required exam and meet certain other criteria, and it also streamlines the licensing process for individuals with existing licenses in other states, particularly for military personnel and their spouses, by waiving certain examination, education, or experience requirements, and it establishes interstate compacts for physician assistants and athletic trainers, allowing for easier practice across participating states, while also updating requirements for certified public accountants, including changes to educational and experience criteria for licensure and firm permits, and introduces provisions for emergency license suspension for certain professions if there's an imminent risk to public health and safety, and allows for the waiver of certain pharmacy regulations during declared state disasters or emergencies.
