HB 1818 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Professions and occupations; licensed social workers; terms and titles modified; effective date.

HB 1818 updates terminology and definitions in Oklahoma's Social Worker's Licensing Act to improve clarity. It modifies terms like renaming the "State Board of Licensed Social Workers" to "State Board of Social Work" and clarifies distinctions between clinical practice (including diagnosis and treatment) and nonclinical practice (such as case management and advocacy). The bill does not change licensing requirements or create new regulations; it solely refines existing definitions for consistency. This affects all licensed social workers, supervisors, and the Board by standardizing how roles and practices are described in state law.
