This bill specifies that no person admitted and licensed to practice law in this state will be required, as part of his or her continuing legal education, to obtain credit devoted exclusively to explicit or implicit bias, diversity, inclusion, or cultural competency. These provisions amend Missouri Supreme Court Rule 15.05, relating to continuing legal education requirements for attorneys, and these provisions will govern in the event of a conflict between the statute and the rule as the rule relates to these specific credits.
