Before providing volunteer health care services in this state, a sponsoring organization shall register with the department of health and senior services by submitting a registration fee of fifty dollars and filing a registration form. The registration and fee shall be submitted annually to the department with the fee to be used for the administration of sections 191.1100 to 191.1112. Such registration form shall contain:

(1) The name of the sponsoring organization;

(2) The name of the principal individual or individuals who are the officers or organization's officials responsible for the operation of the sponsoring organization;

(3) The address, including street, city, zip code, and county, of the sponsoring organization's principal office address and the same address information for each principal or official listed in subdivision (2) of this subsection;

(4) Telephone numbers for the principal office of the sponsoring agency and each principal or official listed in subdivision (2) of this subsection; and

(5) Such additional information as the department shall require.

­­Upon any change in the information required under this subsection, the sponsoring organization shall notify the department in writing of such change within thirty days of its occurrence.

2. The sponsoring organization shall file a quarterly voluntary services report with the department during the current quarter that lists all licensed health care providers who provided voluntary health care services during the preceding quarter. The sponsoring organization shall maintain on file for five years following the date of service additional information, including the date, place, and type of services provided.

3. Each sponsoring organization shall maintain a list of health care providers associated with its provision of voluntary health care services. For each such health care provider, the organization shall maintain a copy of a current license, certificate, or statement of exemption from licensure or certification, or in the event that the health care provider is currently licensed in the state of Missouri, a copy of the health care provider's license verification obtained from a state-sponsored website, if available.

4. The sponsoring organization shall maintain such records for a period of at least five years following the provision of health care services and shall furnish such records upon request to any regulatory board of any healing arts profession established under state law.

5. Compliance with subsections 1 and 2 of this section shall be prima facie evidence that the sponsoring organization has exercised due care in its selection of health care providers.

6. The department may revoke the registration of any sponsoring organization that fails to comply with the requirements of this section.

7. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2013, shall be invalid and void.

8. Nothing in the volunteer health services act shall require a health care provider or organization providing health care services without charge to register with the department and receive the liability protection under sections 191.1100 to 191.1112.
