Introduced

SB 88 - Under this act, any person who has at least 3 years of work experience in an occupation or profession in another state, a branch or unit of the military, a U.S. territory, or the District of Columbia and such jurisdiction does not use a license to regulate that occupation or profession, may submit an application for a license in Missouri, with proof of experience, to the relevant oversight body. Within 45 days of receiving the application, the oversight body shall waive any examination, educational, or experience requirements for licensure if it determines the applicant meets the requirements of this act. The oversight body may require the applicant to take and pass an examination specific to the laws of Missouri if it ordinarily administers an examination on the laws of Missouri as part of its licensing application.

Currently, a licensing oversight body has 60 days following receipt of an application to waive certain examination, educational, or experience requirements for licensure for persons licensed in another state, territory, branch or unit of military, or the District of Columbia who are seeking a license in Missouri. This act changes the 60 days to 45 days.

This act is similar to HB 1900 (2022).
