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.
