Historic Changes Enacted
50 years after the historic Kansas Social Work Practice Act was passed into law.
Governor Kelly signed HB 2484. This is a historic milestone as Kansas was the seventh state to pass Social Work Interstate Licensing Compact Legislation.
With the Social Work Compact now enacted in 7 states, the next steps are to begin the work of forming the Compact Commission.
