DATED: OCTOBER

The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate
Bill No. 2688.

compact in order to practice as a social worker in another member state to the
compact, so long as certain requirements established under the compact are met
by the individual. Under the bill, provisions are established regarding, among
other items, the authority of a member state’s licensing authority; how an
adverse action against a multistate licensee is managed; the set-up of the
Social Work Licensure Compact Commission and its Executive Committee; the
collection of data on member states; and how to withdraw from the compact, if
sought by a member state.

As reported by the committee, Senate Bill No. 2688 is
identical to Assembly Bill No. 2813, which was also reported by the committee
on this date.
