HB 1990 -- Licensure of Nurses Sponsor: Wells This bill exempts a person from licensure as a nurse in Missouri if he or she holds an out-of-state license and is transporting a patient into, out of, or through the state and the transport does not exceed 48 hours. The bill also requires an employer of nurses to have a system in place for verifying that the applicant for a position as a registered, licensed practical, or advanced practice registered nurse has a current valid license and to verify the licensure status at the time of the nurse's license renewal.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
