Overview
This bill changes the requirements for obtaining social work licenses and certifications in New Jersey. It allows qualified social workers with relevant work experience, even if they weren't originally trained for that specific role, to apply for licensure without taking a standard exam. The State Board of Social Work Examiners will evaluate an applicant’s education and experience to determine if they are competent to perform the duties of a licensed social worker. This aims to broaden access to social work licensure by recognizing practical skills.
