SB 393 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

State Board of Licensed Social Workers; extending sunset date. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 393 extends the expiration date of Oklahoma's State Board of Licensed Social Workers from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2026, under the Oklahoma Sunset Law. This procedural bill does not change the board's composition (seven members: three licensed social workers, two social work associates, one from the Oklahoma National Association of Social Workers chapter, and one public member) or its regulatory responsibilities. The extension ensures the board can continue overseeing social work licensing and enforcement of the Social Worker’s Licensing Act through 2026. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, with an emergency declaration.
