MBRC COVID-19 Waiver Approvals

On March 18, 2020, Governor Parson signed Executive Order 20-14, which authorizes executive agencies to waive or suspend regulations or statutes, with approval from the Governor's Office that interfere with the state's response to the spread of COVID-19. This allows agencies to request a waiver or suspension of regulations in an expedited process to help provide immediate health and safety relief. A complete list of rules that have been temporarily suspended can be found at Suspended Rules List.

At this time the Missouri Board for Respiratory Care has received waiver approvals for 20 CSR 2255-2.040 License Renewal and 20 CSR 2255- 4.010 Continuing Education Requirements. In light of the approvals, licensees that hold a valid license, which is set to expire on July 31, 2020, will not be required to have completed the required twenty-four hours of approved continuing education as a condition of license renewal.

If you have questions please contact the board via email at rcp@pr.mo.gov.
