S 9303 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to graduates with a masters in social work

This bill allows graduates of accredited master of social work (MSW) programs to perform supervised social work while completing their licensing process. Specifically, it authorizes these graduates to engage in supervised practice after applying for and paying fees for both licensing and a limited permit, but only for up to 90 days after graduation. The provision ensures MSW graduates can gain practical experience under supervision while meeting state licensing requirements, without extending beyond the 90-day period. It directly affects new MSW graduates seeking entry-level positions in social work.
