AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO A SOCIAL WORK LICENSURE COMPACT.
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
This Act enters Delaware into the Social Work Licensure Compact. This will allow social workers to obtain a multistate license among the member states. Delaware will join the Compact Commission that is comprised of membership of all states that have enacted the Compact. Enough states have enacted the Compact that the Commission has been created and the applications for licensure could start in late 2025. Currently, at least 24 states have joined the Compact, while another 18 have pending legislation to enact the Compact, including Maryland and Pennsylvania. This Substitute changes the Chapter and Section numbers to place the Chapter in a more appropriate place in the code, and it corrects internal references to the new section numbers.
