Agree with intention, see comments below
 

I agree that the proposed changes to the social work regulations helps to eliminate confusing language about part-time supervised experience.  Setting a two-year limit on the time an applicant has to sit for the licensing examination following Board approval after completing their required hours is also adequate time to sit. However, if someone does not pass the test within the two years, I would recommend allowing them a second try without paying all the fees even if that goes into the third year.  Having a tiime frame for sitting for the first test is acceptable though.
