HB 1689 -- Professional Registration Sponsor: Treadway This bill removes the minimum age requirement for persons seeking a professional license in this state who currently hold a professional license in another state which is deemed to have substantially equivalent licensing requirements. The bill adopts certain criteria for inactive licenses for all professions within the Division of Professional Registration. Licensees granted inactive status may return to active status by meeting all requirements established by each board. Persons holding temporary licenses may place their license on inactive status until they are able to complete the necessary requirements for licensure. The bill also allows lapsed licenses to be renewed within a five- year period by meeting all requirements established by the board, excluding the licensing examinations.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
