Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact

AI Summary

The Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact bill aims to establish an agreement among participating states to facilitate the reciprocal recognition of social work licenses, enabling licensed social workers to practice across state lines more easily.

By reducing barriers for licensed social workers to work in multiple states, the bill seeks to address workforce shortages, improve service delivery, and ensure consistent standards of practice within the profession.
