Bill > SB479

This bill modifies the requirements for social work supervisors by reducing the minimum years of practice required for three types of qualified supervisors: qualified advanced macro supervisors, qualified baccalaureate supervisors, and qualified clinical supervisors. Specifically, the bill changes the prerequisite years of practice from five years to three years for each of these supervisor classifications. To be considered a qualified supervisor, these professionals must have practiced in their respective social work field for at least three years, completed a minimum of sixteen hours of supervisory training from approved organizations like the Association of Social Work Boards or National Association of Social Workers, and meet all other requirements defined by the state committee for social workers. The bill does not change other aspects of social work licensing or practice definitions, but focuses specifically on reducing the experience requirement for those seeking to become qualified supervisors in different social work practice areas.
