Establishes licensure reciprocity for licenses issued by licensing authorities in the United Kingdom

HB 2649 establishes licensure reciprocity for professionals holding valid licenses from the United Kingdom who wish to practice in Missouri. It allows UK-licensed individuals with at least one year of current licensure in the UK to apply for Missouri licenses without retaking exams or meeting additional education/experience requirements, provided they submit proof of their UK license. The bill applies to most licensed occupations but excludes certain professions listed in state law and does not override existing interstate compacts. Missouri licensing boards must grant licenses under this law if applicants meet basic criteria and are in good standing with their UK licensing authority.
