Appropriation; Social Workers and Marriage and Family Therapists, Board of Examiners for.
HB 1755 appropriates $273,302 from state funds for the Board of Examiners for Social Workers and Marriage and Family Therapists to cover its operating expenses during the 2026 fiscal year (July 2025-June 2026). The bill specifically allocates $5,500 to upgrade the Board’s Licensing and Regulatory System (LARS) to a cloud-based platform. It includes spending rules requiring the Board to maintain existing staffing levels, avoid using funds for salary increases beyond budgeted amounts, and comply with state fiscal accountability procedures. This is a routine funding measure for an existing state board, not a new policy.
