Summary

The act amends Kentucky’s social work statutes to require that anyone practicing social work be licensed, hold a temporary permit, or have a multistate license. It carves out exemptions for state education employees, staff of tax‑exempt nonprofits (except for clinical social work), and supervised student interns. The changes also define key terms, set standards for clinical practice, and establish an amnesty period that has already passed.
