Social work titles usage requirement modifications
This bill modifies Minnesota's rules for using "social work" or "social worker" titles in public settings. It requires county, city, and state agency social workers who use these titles to be licensed under state law, effective July 1, 2026, unless they were hired before July 1, 2027. The bill also mandates that licensed social workers must display specific designations (like LSW or LISW) when using their titles professionally. These changes directly affect government social workers in public-facing roles, ensuring title usage aligns with licensing requirements.
