Update Licensure Law

Our licensure law, SB 1090, was heard for its second and third readings this past weekend. It is now on its way to the Governor for his signature. Thank you to all those who have helped in the journey of this bill.

How will this change in law affect the social workers with BSW degrees that work in hospitals who previously fell under the exemption? Will they have to quit their jobs immediately or will there be a grace period?

BSW folk will not be affected. This law targets those who are practicing clincially. BSW folks and MSWs who are in non-clincial posts are not affected by this bill.
