Modifies provisions relating to professional registration

HB 268 redefines Missouri's social work licensing categories by replacing outdated sections with new definitions. It establishes four distinct licenses: Licensed Baccalaureate Social Worker, Licensed Master Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Licensed Advanced Macro Social Worker. Key provisions clarify that Licensed Master Social Workers and Licensed Advanced Macro Social Workers cannot diagnose mental disorders or provide psychotherapy without direct supervision from a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. The bill directly affects social workers seeking or holding these licenses in Missouri, requiring them to practice within defined scope limits. These changes standardize terminology and scope of practice for the state's social work profession.
