Hello colleagues,

As the end of the Missouri legislative session has come to an end, I wanted to provide our members with an update.

Our bill sponsor, Representative Jeff Porter, carried HB 1426 during this session. We took our usual path and were assigned to the Professional licensure committee. We continued our work with those groups who remain in opposition to our bill. Representative Porter then suggested we consider writing a statute that will be attached to a healthcare bill as an amendment. The end of the session came before the statute could move; with the next session in January 2022, we will begin with this statute.

Do not lose hope, do not cease your fight for our patients. Our mission is true and worthy of our continued efforts; we will pick up where we left off this session. I thank all of you for your dedication and tireless work for all patients in Missouri.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully submitted,

Diane Hutton
