Allows social worker to acquire four hours of continuing education credit for volunteering as poll worker.
This bill allows licensed and certified social workers in New Jersey to earn up to four hours of required continuing education credit by volunteering as poll workers on election days. Social workers can receive two credits for each election they serve (either a primary or general election), but cannot exceed four credits per license renewal period. To claim the credits, they must provide proof of service, such as a certified letter from their local election office. The bill does not require social workers to volunteer - it simply offers this as an optional way to meet standard continuing education requirements.
