Any person who holds a valid current license issued by another state, a branch or unit of the military, a territory of the United States, or the District of Columbia, and who has been licensed for at least one year in such other jurisdiction, may submit an application for a license in Missouri in the same occupation or profession, and at the same practice level, for which he or she holds the current license, along with proof of current licensure and proof of licensure for at least one year in the other jurisdiction, to the relevant oversight body in this state.
The oversight body in this state shall:

(1) Within six months of receiving an application described in subsection 2 of this section, waive any examination, educational, or experience requirements for licensure in this state for the applicant if it determines that there were minimum education requirements and, if applicable, work experience and clinical supervision requirements in effect and the other state verifies that the person met those requirements in order to be licensed or certified in that state. An oversight body that administers an examination on laws of this state as part of its licensing application requirement may require an applicant to take and pass an examination specific to the laws of this state; or

(2) Within thirty days of receiving an application described in subsection 2 of this section from a nonresident military or law enforcement spouse or a resident military or law enforcement spouse, waive any examination, educational, or experience requirements for licensure in this state for the applicant and issue such applicant a license under this section if such applicant otherwise meets the requirements of this section.

(1) The oversight body shall not waive any examination, educational, or experience requirements for any applicant who has had his or her license revoked by an oversight body outside the state; who is currently under investigation, who has a complaint pending, or who is currently under disciplinary action, except as provided in subdivision (2) of this subsection, with an oversight body outside the state; who does not hold a license in good standing with an oversight body outside the state; who has a criminal record that would disqualify him or her for licensure in Missouri; or who does not hold a valid current license in the other jurisdiction on the date the oversight body receives his or her application under this section.

(2) If another jurisdiction has taken disciplinary action against an applicant, the oversight body shall determine if the cause for the action was corrected and the matter resolved. If the matter has not been resolved by that jurisdiction, the oversight body may deny a license until the matter is resolved.

Nothing in this section shall prohibit the oversight body from denying a license to an applicant under this section for any reason described in any section associated with the occupation or profession for which the applicant seeks a license.
Any person who is licensed under the provisions of this section shall be subject to the applicable oversight body's jurisdiction and all rules and regulations pertaining to the practice of the licensed occupation or profession in this state.
This section shall not be construed to waive any requirement for an applicant to pay any fees, post any bonds or surety bonds, or submit proof of insurance associated with the license the applicant seeks.
This section shall not apply to business, professional, or occupational licenses issued or required by political subdivisions.
The provisions of this section shall not impede an oversight body's authority to require an applicant to submit fingerprints as part of the application process.
The provisions of this section shall not be construed to alter the authority granted by, or any requirements promulgated pursuant to, any interjurisdictional or interstate compacts adopted by Missouri statute or any reciprocity agreements with other states in effect, and whenever possible this section shall be interpreted so as to imply no conflict between it and any compact, or any reciprocity agreements with other states in effect.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a license issued under this section shall be valid only in this state and shall not make a licensee eligible to be part of an interstate compact. An applicant who is licensed in another state pursuant to an interstate compact shall not be eligible for licensure by an oversight body under the provisions of this section.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to any occupation set forth in subsection 6 of section 290.257, or any electrical contractor licensed under sections 324.900 to 324.945.

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 324.935

324.935. Renewal of licensure, procedure — inactive status — transfer of employment, effect on license. — 1. Starting in 2020, licenses shall be renewed once every three years. The division shall mail a renewal notice to the last known address of each person licensed under sections 324.900 to 324.945 prior to the renewal date. Failure to provide the division with the information required for renewal or to pay the required fee after such notice shall result in the license being declared inactive. The licensee shall not practice until he or she applies for reinstatement and pays the required fees. The license shall be restored if the application for reinstatement is received within two years of the renewal date.

Upon request, the division may grant inactive status to a licensee if the person:

(1) Does not hold himself or herself out as possessing a license required under sections 324.900 to 324.945 in this state; and

(2) Does not maintain any continuing competency requirements established by the division.

If an electrical contractor transfers employment from one company to another, all permits on the contractor's license shall first be cleared. It is the responsibility of the contractor to notify the division of the contractor's intent to transfer employment and any current active permits on the contractor's license when transferring employment. Upon such notification, the division shall notify all affected political subdivisions via electronic communication of the contractor's status. It shall be assumed all permits are cleared if no response is given otherwise by affected political subdivisions within seventy-two hours of the notification.

Title XXXI TRUSTS AND ESTATES OF DECEDENTS AND PERSONS UNDER DISABILITY

Chapter 475

â¢

Effective - 28 Aug 1983

âââ

âÂ 475.025. Â Â Rights of parents as natural guardians of minors. â In all cases not otherwise provided for by law, the father and mother, with equal powers, rights and duties, while living, and in case of the death of either parent the survivor, or when there is no lawful father, then the mother, if living, is the natural guardian of their children, and has the custody and care of their persons and education.Â Â When the estate of a minor is derived from a parent, the parent as natural guardian has all of the powers of a conservator appointed by a court, with respect to property derived from him, except that no court order or authorization is necessary to exercise these powers and the natural guardian may invest, sell and reinvest the estate of the minor in such property as is reasonable and prudent.

(RSMo 1939 Â§ 375, A.L. 1955 p. 385 Â§ 286, A.L. 1957 p. 829, A.L. 1983 S.B. 44 & 45)

Prior revisions: 1929 Â§ 375; 1919 Â§ 371; 1909 Â§ 430

(1958) Where child's estate was derived solely from father, court did not err in dismissing father's petition for declaratory judgment stating his right as natural guardian of child under Â§ 475.025, as it was before reenactment in 1957, since by its terms the section applied only to children's estates derived from both parents and in addition all questions as to father's powers and rights as natural guardian were moot at the date of judgment. Dyer v. Union Electric Co. (A.), 318 S.W.2d 401.
