Oklahoma HB2261 establishes the Social Work Licensure Compact to streamline multistate licensure for social workers.

Oklahoma HB2261 creates the Social Work Licensure Compact, a multistate agreement to simplify the process for social workers to obtain and maintain licenses across multiple states. The compact aims to increase public access to social work services, reduce licensing burdens, and enhance state protections. Member states must meet eligibility criteria, including regulating social work practice and having a mechanism for investigating complaints. The compact establishes a commission to oversee its administration, including rulemaking, data system maintenance, and dispute resolution.
