SF 2029 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Social work provisional licenses technical changes provision

This bill amends Minnesota's social work licensure laws to clarify requirements for provisional licenses. It specifically adds eligibility for students graduating from social work programs in "candidacy status" (pending full accreditation) to obtain temporary licenses, alongside existing requirements like passing exams and completing degree coursework. The changes apply to both baccalaureate and graduate students, requiring them to submit similar documentation as fully accredited program graduates. Provisional license holders must identify as "Temporary License Baccalaureate Social Worker" or similar, cannot use licensed credentials until full licensure, and must follow supervision rules. The bill does not create new license types but streamlines existing processes for a specific group of applicants.
