Modifies provisions relating to social workers

HB 886 defines and clarifies license types for social workers in Missouri, directly affecting licensed social workers, licensing bodies, and supervision requirements. The bill specifies that "licensed advanced macro social workers" and "licensed master social workers" may not provide therapy, diagnose mental disorders, or treat emotional conditions without clinical supervision. It establishes clear scope of practice boundaries, such as prohibiting master social workers from conducting clinical therapy without supervision and defining non-clinical roles like policy development. Additionally, the bill sets standards for supervisors, requiring 16 hours of training and three years of practice experience for those overseeing licensure candidates.
