Relating to the Social Work Licensure Compact; authorizing fees.

This bill establishes Texas as a participating state in the Social Work Licensure Compact, a multi-state agreement that allows licensed social workers to practice across state lines without obtaining separate licenses in each state. It directly affects licensed social workers who provide services in multiple states, particularly military personnel and those serving in border communities. The key mechanism is mutual recognition of licenses among participating states, reducing duplicate application processes and fees while maintaining state-level regulatory authority for public safety. The compact also enables states to share disciplinary information and hold social workers accountable for practices in the state where the client is located.
