SB 1092 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to professional licensure

SB 1092 would change the required duration of supervision for specific social work supervisors. The bill's abstract states it modifies the length of supervision but does not specify the current or proposed timeframes or which supervisors are affected. As a newly prefaced bill with no detailed provisions provided, it is unclear how this change would impact social work licensing or practice. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Emerging Issues and Professional Registration Committee.

MODERATE

The bill was significantly narrowed in scope, shifting from a broad overhaul of professional licensure for multiple occupations to a single, focused update regarding social workers. The legislation now repeals only one specific statute (337.600) and enacts a new version that provides detailed definitions for various levels of social work practice, including advanced macro, clinical, master, and baccalaureate levels. This change limits the bill's impact to clarifying the scope of practice and terminology for social workers, removing the extensive provisions for temporary licenses and other professions that were present in the original version.

Scope change

The bill's scope was drastically reduced from covering forty-six new sections across multiple professions to covering only one new section specifically related to social workers.

SCOPE

Removed provisions establishing temporary licenses for out-of-state workers and creating new licensure sections for numerous other professions.

Removed the repeal of sections 324.009, 332.081, 334.1800, and 345.050, meaning these existing laws remain in effect.

Changed the act's purpose from a broad professional licensure reform to a specific update regarding social worker regulations.

DEFINITION

Added a comprehensive list of definitions for social work terms, including specific distinctions between 'advanced macro,' 'clinical,' 'master,' and 'baccalaureate' social work.
