AI Summary

  • Ohio joins the Social Work Licensure Compact, an interstate agreement allowing licensed social workers to practice across member states without obtaining separate licenses in each state
  • Creates three categories of multistate licenses: clinical (requiring master's degree plus 3,000 hours or 2 years supervised practice), master's, and bachelor's level social work
  • Applicants must hold an unencumbered license in their home state, pass a qualifying national exam, submit fingerprints for FBI background checks, and pay applicable fees
  • Establishes the Social Work Licensure Compact Commission as a joint governmental agency with one delegate per member state to administer the compact, maintain a shared data system, and promulgate rules
  • The compact becomes effective when seven states enact it; Ohio's Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board must select a delegate within 60 days of compact entry
