Agency Response Date | 01/14/2022 |
The petition was considered by the Board at its meeting on January 14, 2022. The Board
has begun the regulatory action to propose acceptance of a state examination if the
national exam was not required at the time a social worker was initially licensed
in the other state. During the process of promulgating that regulation, it will consider
acceptance of licensure by endorsement for applicants with lengthy experience who
were grandfathered without examination in another state.
