Overview: SB 2726, "Social Work Licensure Compact; enact", was introduced on March 13, 2025, but died in committee.
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill was to enact the Social Work Licensure Compact, which would establish a multistate licensure privilege for social workers. This was intended to improve workforce mobility and access to social work services across state lines.
Key Provisions:
- Allows social workers licensed in a member state to practice in other member states without obtaining additional licenses
- Establishes a coordinated licensure information system and data-sharing procedures among member states
- Outlines the requirements for states to join the compact and the responsibilities of member states
Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would have primarily affected licensed social workers, enabling them to more easily practice across state borders. It could have also improved access to social work services for individuals and communities in need.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill was introduced but ultimately died in committee, meaning it did not progress further in the legislative process. The reasons for its failure to advance are not clear from the available information.
