The draft legislation for the social work interstate licensure compact has been released by the Council of State Governments (CSG). The public comment period is now open and is expected to last for approximately two months.
Social workers from around the country – including representatives from NASW – have been involved in the drafting process. However, since licensure is different in each state and the legislation will affect each state differently it is important social workers from around the nation review the legislation and weigh in.
