SOCIAL WORK LICENSURE INTERSTATE COMPACT
What changed between versions
The document structure was changed from a draft format with bracketed deletion markers to a final legislative format with proper act numbering and clean text.
New comprehensive definitions were added for key terms including 'active military member', 'adverse action', 'alternative program', 'charter member states', 'compact', 'compact commission', 'current significant investigative information', 'data system', 'disqualifying event', 'domicile', 'encumbrance', 'executive committee', 'home state', 'impairment', 'licensee', 'licensing authority', 'member state', 'multistate authorization to practice', 'multistate license', 'qualifying national exam', 'regulated social worker', 'remote state', 'rule', 'single state license', 'social work', 'state', 'unencumbered license', and 'active military member'.
The final version establishes clear requirements for how the Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact will operate, including provisions for background checks and interstate recognition of social work licenses.
