AI Summary
This bill enacts the Social Work Licensure Compact in Louisiana. The Compact facilitates the interstate practice of regulated social workers by improving public access to competent social work services, reducing duplicative licensing requirements, and enhancing states' ability to protect public health and safety. Key provisions include creating a multistate license, establishing a compact commission, requiring member states to participate in a coordinated data system, and providing a process for taking adverse action against a licensee's multistate authorization to practice. The bill aims to increase mobility and address workforce shortages by eliminating the necessity of licenses in multiple states.
