AN ACT ELIMINATING LICENSING FEES FOR SOCIAL WORKERS.

SB 1074 eliminates licensing fees for licensed clinical social workers and licensed master social workers in Connecticut. The bill amends statute 20-195o to remove these fees, directly affecting social workers who must pay them to maintain their licenses. Its key mechanism is a straightforward statutory change, aiming to reduce financial barriers to entering or remaining in the profession. The stated purpose is to increase the number of social workers by removing this cost. (3 sentences)
