Summary of the Introduced Bill

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.
