Introduced Text

Extends the renewal period for limited licenses for bachelor's and master's social workers in Michigan.

The bill amends Michigan's social work licensing law to extend the renewal period for limited licenses for bachelor's and master's social workers. Previously, these limited licenses were renewable for up to 6 years. The bill increases the maximum renewal period to 10 years, allowing more time for individuals to complete the required 2 years of postdegree experience under supervision before obtaining full licensure. This change affects licensed bachelor's and master's social workers in Michigan.
