Bill > A10094

This bill, known as the "licensure incentives and fee-support for testing (LIFT) act," establishes a program to provide vouchers to low-income individuals in New York State to help cover the cost of the examination required to become a licensed master social worker or a licensed clinical social worker. To qualify for a voucher, an applicant must be a state resident, eligible to take the exam, and have a net taxable income at or below a threshold set by the department, with special provisions for emancipated individuals whose eligibility will not be affected by their parents' income. The department will create the necessary rules and regulations to implement this program, which will take effect 120 days after becoming law.
