HB 989 -- Professors at State Institutions of Higher Education

Sponsor:  Talboy

Beginning January 1, 2010, this bill requires every full-time or
tenured professor at a public higher education institution to be
a resident of Missouri and present proof of residency to the
employing institution.  Visiting professors are exempt from these
provisions.  The registrar of each institution must annually
certify to the education appropriations committees of the General
Assembly that the institution has not knowingly employed a
nonresident in a position that requires state residency.
Professors who do not meet the residency requirement are subject
to immediate termination; and institutions that know or should
have known that they have employed a nonresident are subject to a
fine equal to the professor's annual salary.
