What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Marriage and Family Therapy, Professional Counseling,

and Social Work Examining Board to promulgate rules establishing examination

requirements for certification and licensure by the board. Under current law, the

board's examinations for certification and licensure must generally test an

applicant's minimum competency in subjects substantially related to the practice of

social work, advanced practice social work, independent social work, clinical social

work, marriage and family therapy, or professional counseling, as appropriate. The

bill specifies that the board's examinations for certification and licensure may

include an examination that tests an applicant's knowledge of state law relating to

the relevant practice.

The bill is introduced as required by s. 227.19 (5) (e), stats., in support of the

objection of the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules on March 3,

2016, to promulgation by the board of a portion of clearinghouse rule number 15-082.

The relevant portion of the proposed rule provides for the elimination of the

requirement that certain applicants for certification or licensure by the board pass

an examination that tests an applicant's knowledge of state law relating to the

practice for which the applicant is seeking certification or licensure.
