HB 566 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to licensed interior designers

HB 566 establishes a centralized "Division of Professional Registration" within Missouri's Department of Commerce and Insurance to manage licensing for interior designers and other regulated professions. It standardizes license renewal periods (1-3 years), prohibits fee increases during active licensing periods, and creates a dedicated "Professional Registration Fees Fund" to cover administrative costs. The division handles clerical tasks like issuing licenses and processing renewals, while maintaining strict confidentiality for applicant records (except for basic license status information). This bill directly affects licensed interior designers and other professionals whose credentials are managed through this new administrative structure.
