SB 314 w/ SA 1

6/6/24

Pinkney

Senate Bill No. 314 removes “supervision” from the scope of practice of a master’s social worker and prohibits a master’s social worker from providing supervision to a licensed clinical social worker applicant. Senate Bill No. 314 includes a grandfathering provision for applicants and licensed clinical social workers who received or are receiving their supervision from a master's social worker. This Amendment revises the grandfather clause to limit the amount of time that an applicant who is applying for licensure as a licensed clinical social worker may continue to receive supervision from a master's social worker. The amendment will require an applicant who will not complete the 2-year supervised experience requirement on or before 180 days after the enactment of this Act to continue any necessary supervision under the supervision of a licensed clinical social worker, licensed psychologist, or licensed psychiatrist, in accordance with § 3907(b)(4) of this title. To correspond with this change, the Amendment also limits the amount of time that a master's social worker may continue supervision of an applicant to no longer than 180 days after the enactment of this Act.
