Bill Summary · HB 1795

Legislative bill overview

HB 1795 is a Missouri bill that creates provisions relating to the practice of certain licensed professions, though the specific professions and provisions are not detailed in the available information. The bill was prefiled in December 2025 and is currently in early stages of the legislative process, having been read twice in the House.

Why is this important

Licensed profession regulations directly affect service availability, consumer protection, and workforce mobility across various industries. Changes to licensing requirements, scope of practice, or professional standards can influence healthcare access, business operations, and professional opportunities for thousands of practitioners.

Potential points of contention

  • Scope of practice expansion or restriction – The bill may expand what certain professionals can do (potentially drawing opposition from competing professions) or restrict services (potentially affecting professional livelihoods and consumer choice)
  • Licensing requirement modifications – Changes to education, examination, or reciprocity requirements could affect who can enter professions and whether out-of-state licensees face barriers
  • Consumer protection versus professional freedom – Balancing regulatory oversight that protects the public with regulations that don't create unnecessary burdens on practitioners
