The Interstate Social Work Licensure Compact Act of 2025 aims to streamline the practice of social work across state lines by allowing licensed social workers in participating states to provide services without the need for multiple state licenses. This legislation will enable the District of Columbia to join the national Social Work Compact, addressing barriers that currently prevent D.C. licensed social workers from serving clients in other states. The bill includes provisions for a Multistate License for social workers, detailing requirements for obtaining such a license at both the bachelor's and master's levels, and maintains the District's authority to regulate social work practice while enhancing public access to services.

Additionally, the bill establishes the Social Work Licensure Compact Commission, a joint government agency composed of delegates from each member state's licensing authority, responsible for overseeing the administration of the Compact. The Commission will have the authority to create rules and bylaws, manage licensing information, and ensure compliance with the Compact's provisions. It also outlines the process for dispute resolution, oversight, and enforcement mechanisms, allowing member states to withdraw from the Compact with a notice period while ensuring that licenses granted under the Compact remain valid for a minimum of 180 days post-withdrawal. The act will take effect following approval from the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period.
