Summary

The bill lets applicants who have failed the associate exam by 10 points or less twice obtain a provisional Licensed Social Work Associate license for up to one year. During that year they must complete professional development, supervision and submit a detailed portfolio, after which they receive a full license without retaking the exam. It also protects the portfolio information from public‑records requests and allows submissions in a non‑English language when the licensee’s work requires it.
