SB 68 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to behavioral health. (BDR 54-403)

SB 68 requires Nevada’s behavioral health licensing boards (including those for psychologists, social workers, and substance use counselors) to report detailed annual data, such as reasons for license denials, trends in applications, and where applicants plan to practice. It also ratifies the Social Work Licensure Compact, creating a multistate system where social workers licensed in Nevada can practice in other participating states under uniform rules. The compact mandates standardized educational, examination, and background check requirements for licensees and establishes a shared data system for member states. This bill directly affects licensing boards, social work professionals seeking cross-state practice, and the public through increased transparency in licensing processes.
