Prohibits licensed professionals from being penalized by their licensing board for the exercise of rights protected under the free exercise clause or free speech clause

HB 2306 requires professional licensing boards in Missouri to immediately stop investigating and dismiss any complaints based on a licensee's exercise of free speech or free exercise of religion rights. The law explicitly states that engaging in these protected activities cannot be considered unprofessional conduct, shielding professionals from discipline for such actions. However, the bill does allow oversight bodies to take action against individuals who help others retaliate against licensees for their protected speech or conduct outside of their professional duties. This legislation directly affects licensed professionals and the administrative agencies that regulate them by establishing specific procedures for handling complaints related to constitutional rights.
