social work compact

This bill establishes a Social Work Licensure Compact in Arizona, allowing licensed social workers to practice across multiple member states with a single license. The legislation creates a commission to manage the compact and maintain a shared database for licensure and disciplinary records, while defining rules for how social workers are regulated in different states. Key provisions include mutual recognition of licenses to reduce administrative burdens, support for military families, and the authorization of telehealth services to improve public access. The compact also sets standards for handling adverse actions and ensuring that social workers adhere to the laws of the state where their clients are located.
