CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 635 - This act modifies the "Health Professional Student Loan Repayment Program" to be the "Missouri Student Loan Repayment Program" or "MOSLRP". MOSLRP shall be for persons who practice in areas of defined need after graduating from an accredited graduate training program in the following disciplines: allopathic medical doctor, osteopathic medical doctor, general dentist, dental hygienist, registered nurse, physician assistant, psychologist, licensed clinical social worker, licensed professional counselor, marital and family therapist, or pharmacist. MOSLRP shall not include chiropractic college graduates, unlike the current "Health Professional Student Loan Repayment Program". The standards the Department of Health and Senior Services may establish shall not include enrollment as a full-time student in certain courses of study as in the current program, but shall include authorization to practice certain types of health professions.
This act is similar to provisions in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS#2/HB 419 (2025), the truly agreed to and finally passed CCS/HCS/SS/SB 150 (2025), HCS/HB 720 (2025), HCS/SB 94 (2025), SCS/HCS/HB 943 (2025), and HCS/SS/SB 7 (2025).
