The bill HB 1190-FN introduces the adoption of the interstate social work licensure compact in New Hampshire, which is designed to facilitate the interstate practice of social work by allowing regulated social workers to obtain a Multistate License. This license enables them to practice across state lines within member states without needing additional licenses. The compact aims to increase public access to social work services, enhance public protection, promote workforce mobility, and support military families, among other objectives. It sets out the criteria for states to participate in the compact, including licensing requirements, education, supervised practice, and participation in a Commission's Data System. The bill also defines various terms related to the compact and outlines the eligibility criteria for social workers to obtain a Multistate License.

The bill further establishes the Social Work Licensure Compact Commission, which is responsible for overseeing the administration of the compact, including rulemaking, budgeting, and managing a coordinated Data System. The Commission, through its Executive Committee, has the authority to take various actions to ensure compliance and proper functioning of the compact. The bill provides for the financial operations of the Commission, including the ability to levy assessments and fees, and grants qualified immunity to its members and staff. It also details the procedures for Member States to withdraw from or amend the compact, the rulemaking process, and the consequences of defaulting on obligations under the compact. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, and aims to be liberally construed to fulfill its purposes. There are no specific insertions or deletions indicated in the provided text.
