The Missouri Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Compliance Report is a document used to certify that a business or organization is compliant with the Missouri ADR Act. This act requires businesses and organizations to establish an ADR program in order to resolve disputes without resorting to costly and lengthy litigation. The Compliance Report must be completed by a qualified ADR professional, who will review the business or organization’s policies and procedures, as well as provide guidance on how to best meet the requirements of the Act. The report must be signed by both the ADR professional and the business or organization, and should be submitted to the Missouri Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration (DIP) for review and approval. There are three types of Missouri Alternative Dispute Resolution Compliance Report: the Initial Compliance Report, the Compliance Update Report, and the Renewal Compliance Report. The Initial Compliance Report is the report submitted to DIP when the business or organization is initially seeking approval under the ADR Act. The Compliance Update Report is used to update the ADR program and must be submitted to DIP at least once a year. The Renewal Compliance Report is submitted to DIP prior to the expiration date of the current ADR program.
