HB 270 Riley, Alex
HB 270 -- LICENSURE BASED ON WORK EXPERIENCE
SPONSOR: Riley
Any person who has at least three years of work experience in an occupation or profession in another state, a branch or unit of the military, a territory of the United States, the District of Columbia, or any combination of such jurisdictions, and whose work experience involved the practice of an occupation or profession for which a license is required in Missouri but is not required in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which the person worked, may submit an application for a license in Missouri in the occupation or profession, along with proof of at least three years of work experience in the occupation or profession, to the relevant oversight body in this state.
The application must be reviewed within 45 days and any examination, educational, or experience requirements must be waived by the oversight body. However, the requirements will not be waived if the applicant is currently under investigation by an oversight body outside of Missouri, has a complaint pending with an oversight body outside of Missouri, is currently under disciplinary action with an oversight body outside of Missouri, has had any license in the relevant occupation or profession revoked by an oversight body outside of Missouri or who has a criminal record that would disqualify him or her for licensure in Missouri.
This bill is the same as HB 1900 (2022).
