Social Workers Compact facilitates multistate licensure for social workers.
The Social Workers Compact Act establishes a multistate licensing system for social workers, allowing them to practice across participating states. It defines terms like "multistate license" and "remote state," and sets eligibility criteria for applicants. The compact aims to enhance public access to social work services, reduce licensing burdens, and facilitate the exchange of disciplinary information among states. It also preserves states' regulatory authority and allows for joint investigations and dispute resolution.
