House moves to perfect bill recognizing out‑of‑state clinical fellowships for SLP licensure
Summary
House ordered House Bill 25‑91 perfected and printed; the measure would allow speech‑language pathologists who completed a clinical fellowship year in another state to have that year recognized for Missouri licensure, removing a barrier to practice.
House members approved perfection and printing of House Bill 25‑91, which clarifies that speech‑language pathologists who completed their required clinical fellowship year in another state may count that year toward Missouri licensure.
The sponsor, the lady from Greene, said the change simply adds the words "in any state" to existing language so that clinicians do not have to repeat the fellowship when relocating to Missouri. Members said the bill passed committee nearly unanimously and urged the House to pass the technical fix to help workforce mobility.
Next steps: HB 25‑91 will proceed through the chamber's printing and perfection procedures.
