Ask Speaker Patterson to Refer HB 2522 to Committee!
Missouri blocks some immigrants from entering licensed professions, even if they have federal employment authorization, have completed college, and passed exams. These are our friends, our neighbors, and our family members who are not able to pursue the occupations of their choice. Representative Ray Reed introduced legislation to expand professional licensure to anyone with federal employment authorization, allowing immigrants of various statuses to pursue the career that they have been educated and trained for. This bill, HB 2522, still has not been referred to committee. Let's put some pressure on Speaker Jon Patterson to ensure this bill gets a hearing before the end of session! While we know it is not likely to pass this session, it has a much higher chance of passing in future sessions, if it makes some movement this year. Send a letter to Speaker Patterson today to make sure all Missourians can access professional licensure!
