HB2957

Modifies provisions for respiratory care practitioners, including conditional licenses and renewals.

The bill modifies provisions for respiratory care practitioners in Missouri. It allows the board to issue conditional licenses to applicants who meet certain requirements but are still under investigation. These conditional licenses are valid for up to twelve months and cannot be renewed. The bill also mandates that all license renewals undergo a random audit to verify the licensee's active credential. Failure to renew a license before its expiration results in its lapse, which can be reinstated by the board.
