MODERATE

This bill was significantly narrowed in scope, reducing the number of repealed statutes from 15 to 5 and the number of new sections from 29 to 11. The primary change is the removal of most professional licensing sections, leaving only a streamlined version of the temporary licensing provision for out-of-state workers. This simplifies the bill's focus to a single mechanism for temporary licensure rather than a comprehensive overhaul of multiple professional licensing areas.

Scope change

The bill's scope was substantially reduced from affecting multiple professional licensing statutes to focusing primarily on one temporary licensing mechanism.

SCOPE

Removed repeal of 10 statutes (332.211, 332.281, 333.041, 333.042, 338.010, 338.333, 338.710, 339.150, 339.780, 701.040, 701.046) that would have repealed existing professional licensing laws.

Removed 22 new sections that would have created additional professional licensing provisions, reducing the bill from a comprehensive reform to a focused amendment.

REQUIREMENT

Added new subsections clarifying that temporary licenses issued under this section are valid only within Missouri and do not make licensees eligible for interstate compacts or reciprocity agreements.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bill title from 'House Committee Substitute for Senate Substitute' to 'Senate Substitute for [PERFECTED]', indicating the bill has been finalized and approved by both chambers.

Corrected formatting and capitalization throughout the document, including changing 'state of Missouri' to 'State of Missouri' and adding sponsor information.
