Illinois HB2473 proposes the Social Work Licensure Compact to streamline social work licensure across states.

Illinois HB2473 proposes the Social Work Licensure Compact, a multistate agreement to facilitate social work licensure across states. The Compact aims to improve public access to social work services while preserving states' regulatory authority. Member states must license and regulate social work practice, require graduates from accredited programs, and meet competency requirements. The Compact Commission, an instrumentality of member states, oversees the agreement, promulgates rules, and maintains a data system.
