An Act Establishing Alternative Pathways to Social Worker Licensing

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates new ways for people to become licensed social workers in Maine, even if they have failed the state licensing exam. It establishes alternative pathways for licensed social workers, licensed master social workers, and licensed clinical social workers, requiring things like a jurisprudence exam, supervised work experience, and demonstrating specific social work skills. These changes would allow more individuals to qualify for social work licenses, potentially increasing the number of social workers in the state.
