New Jersey joins the Social Work Licensure Compact to facilitate interstate practice.
New Jersey S2688 enters the state into the Social Work Licensure Compact, a multistate agreement allowing licensed social workers to practice across member states with a single license. The compact aims to increase access to social work services, reduce duplicative requirements, and enhance public safety. To participate, New Jersey must meet criteria such as requiring applicants to pass a national exam and hold an active, unencumbered license. The compact establishes a commission to oversee its implementation and enforce compliance.
