ASSUMPTION

Officials from the Department of Economic Development-Professional
Registration assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on
their agency.

DESCRIPTION

The proposed legislation would allow physicians and surgeons from other
countries to become licensed/certified in Missouri, provided the country's
licensing and certification standards are at least as stringent as those in
Missouri.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
