HB2591

Modifies provisions relating to clinical fellowships required for licensure as a speech-language pathologist

Chamber Passed·2/17/26

Missouri HB2591 modifies the requirements for clinical fellowships needed for speech-language pathologist licensure.

Missouri HB2591 repeals and replaces section 345.050 of RSMo, altering the criteria for licensure as a speech-language pathologist. Applicants must now hold a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited program, submit transcripts showing completion of relevant coursework and clinical practicum, and present evidence of a clinical fellowship under a licensed speech-language pathologist. This change ensures that applicants meet specific educational and practical experience standards before obtaining licensure.
