HB 1813 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to licensure reciprocity

HB 1813 modifies Missouri's licensure reciprocity rules to make it easier for certain professionals to practice in Missouri. It allows individuals holding valid licenses from other states, U.S. territories, or the District of Columbia (with at least one year of licensure there) to apply for Missouri licensure in the same occupation, waiving most exams or experience requirements after a 6-month review by licensing boards. The bill specifically streamlines licensing for spouses of active-duty military personnel or Missouri law enforcement officers who are relocating to Missouri, requiring boards to issue licenses within 30 days if applicants meet basic criteria. This directly affects licensed professionals moving to Missouri for work, military relocations, or law enforcement employment.
