Board of Social Worker Licensure is authorized to delay application |
| of the new consultation requirements to conditionally licensed |
| social workers and licensed social workers who held valid licenses |
| on September 13, 2003. The new consultation requirements, which |
| became effective on January 1, 2004, must be imposed on these |
| licensees upon their timely application for renewal. These |
| licensees will be accorded not less than 2 years but no more than 4 |
| years to comply with the new consultation requirements. This |
| transition is not intended to prevent timely consideration by the |
| State Board of Social Worker Licensure of applications for renewal |
| licensure for individuals who have or will have completed the |
| required consultation requirements under Public Law 2003, chapter |
| 429. The transition is intended to provide licensed and |
| conditionally licensed social workers who were validly licensed on |
| September 13, 2003 but who have not previously been subject to new |
| consultation requirements to have the same time period as new |
| licensees to satisfy consultation requirements. |
