HB 766 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Repeals provisions relating to suspension of professional licenses for failure to pay state taxes or file state tax returns

HB 766 establishes a "Division of Professional Registration" within the Department of Commerce and Insurance to manage professional licensing for various boards. It sets rules for license renewal periods (one to three years), requires boards to set uniform registration fees for entire licensing cycles, and creates a "Professional Registration Fees Fund" to cover administrative costs. The bill also mandates confidentiality for applicant and licensee records (excluding basic license status), requires standardized renewal forms, and clarifies that the division handles only ministerial tasks like document verification - not discretionary licensing decisions. This bill reorganizes administrative processes for professional licensing but does not address tax-related license suspensions as suggested by its title.
