AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to join the Social Work Licensure Compact, a multistate agreement that facilitates the practice of social work across state lines by improving public access to competent social work services, reducing burdensome licensure requirements, and enhancing the states' ability to protect public health and safety. The compact establishes the Social Work Licensure Compact Commission, which will oversee the administration of the agreement, including issuing multistate licenses, maintaining a data system, and promulgating rules. The bill also outlines the requirements for states and social workers to participate in the compact, as well as the procedures for adverse actions, dispute resolution, and enforcement.
