HCS/SB 714 - This act allows the state to temporarily license certain health care practitioners in an emergency. Currently, Section 190.500, RSMo, allows a twelve-month temporary license for a health care practitioner licensed in another state who is acting under military orders and is enrolled in a trauma and disaster response training in this state. This act requires the practitioner to also be in good standing in the state of license.
This act adds a third category to also allow temporary licensure of a health care practitioner licensed in another state and acting pursuant to a Governor's declaration of a state public health emergency. Temporary licensure for this category will be issued for a two-week period and, after verification of qualifications, may be reissued every two weeks. Licensure information for all three categories may be obtained by any means, including electronic mail.
Similar provisions are contained in CCS/HCS/SCS/SB 712 (TAT)
