Relates to graduates with a masters in social work

This bill allows graduates of accredited master of social work programs to work under supervision for up to 90 days after graduation without full licensure. It requires these graduates to apply for and pay fees for both a license examination and a limited permit to practice. The law also clarifies which individuals are excluded from performing social work services, including students, clergy, and certain government employees, while establishing a temporary pathway for recent graduates to gain practical experience before full licensure.
