State Senator Kristina Roegner (R-Hudson) joined Governor DeWine for the ceremonial signing of Senate Bill 90, which enters Ohio into the Social Work Licensure Compact.
"I am grateful to see this bill signed into law," said Roegner. "Currently, I am fostering two children and have had first-hand experience working with social workers. Their work is important and this bill will remove red tape and open doors to new opportunities for them. I look forward to seeing the impact that this legislation has on social workers in the Buckeye State and those looking to move here."
Senate Bill 90 continues Senator Roegner's efforts to eliminate government barriers, allowing professionals to work in their trained fields. In previous General Assemblies, she sponsored interstate compact bills for nurses (SB 3), occupational therapists (SB 7), physicians (SB 6), physical therapists (SB 5), counselors (SB 204), among others.
The bill becomes effective on August 9, 2024, making Ohio the 14th state to enact such legislation.
