Under the Compact, individuals licensed or eligible for licensure as a clinical social worker in Florida will be able to obtain a multistate license to practice in any compact member state, and provide services to patients in compact member states remotely via telehealth. Multistate licensed clinical social workers in other compact states will also be able to provide services to Florida patients.  \nFiscal or Economic Impact:  \nThe bill will have an insignificant, negative fiscal impact on the Department of Health which estimates that it will cost $97,611 ($91,674 recurring, $5,937 non-recurring) to implement the provisions of the bill. The bill has no fiscal impact on local governments.  \nJUMP TO   SUMMARY ANALYSIS  RELEVANT INFORMATION  BILL HISTORY   \nANALYSIS  \nEFFECT OF THE BILL:  \nSocial Work Licensure Interstate Compact  \nCurrently, social workers must seek a separate license in each state in which they chose to practice. The bill allows social workers who have or are eligible for licensure in the compact member state in which they reside to apply fora multistate license which authorizes practice in all compact member states.  \nHB 13 enacts the Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact (Compact) and authorizes Florida to enter into the interstate compact. (Section 1)  \nThe Compact allows a licensed clinical social worker in a compact member state to practice in any other compact member state without obtaining a separate license in each state. Under the Compact, a multistate license to practice is issued by the licensing authority in the social worker’s home state which authorizes the social worker to practice in all compact member states.  \nSimilarly, licensed clinical social workers in compact member states will also be able to provide services remotely via telehealth to patients in other compact member states. While Florida’s open telehealth laws make it possible for practitioners licensed in other states to serve patients in Florida, this is less common in other states; only through a compact will Florida practitioners be able to serve patients remotely in other states without a license specific to each state.  \nState Participation in the Compact  \nTo participate in the Compact a state must:  \n􀁸 License and regulate the practice of social work at the clinical, master's, or bachelor's level;  \n􀁸 Require applicants for licensure to graduate from a program that is accredited, or in candidacy by an institution that subsequently becomes accredited, and that corresponds to the licensure being sought;  \n􀁸 Require applicants for clinical licensure to complete a period of supervised practice; and  \n􀁸 Have a mechanism in place for receiving, investigating, and adjudicating complaints about licensees.  \nTo maintain membership in the Compact a state must:  \n􀁸 Require applicants for a multistate license to pass a Qualifying National Exam that corresponds to the category of the multistate license sought;  \n􀁸 Participate in the Social Work Licensure Compact Commission’s (Commission) data system;  \n􀁸 Notify the Commission of any adverse action or the availability of current significant investigative information regarding a licensee;  \n􀁸 Implement procedures for considering the criminal history records of applicants for a multistate license;  \n􀁸 Comply with Commission rules;  \n􀁸","cbCaidK2LH3wDo7K","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidK2LH3wDo7K","pdf",749537,"English","# Summary\n## Effect of the Bill\n## Fiscal or Economic Impact\n# Analysis\n## Effect of the Bill: Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact\n## State Participation in the Compact\n## Multistate Licensure Requirements","[{\"question\":\"What does HB 13 authorize Florida to do?\",\"answer\":\"HB 13 authorizes Florida to enter into the Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact and enacts the Compact’s provisions into Florida law.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Compact change social work licensure across states?\",\"answer\":\"The bill allows social workers who have or are eligible for licensure in a compact member state to apply for a multistate license that authorizes practice in all compact member states without obtaining separate licenses in each state.\"},{\"question\":\"What telehealth impact does HB 13 create under the Compact?\",\"answer\":\"Licensed clinical social workers in compact states can provide services remotely via telehealth to patients in other compact states, including Florida, under the Compact’s framework and requirements.\"}]","HB 13 - Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact | PDF",1789981084,25]
