In Section R156-60a-302c, the rule currently requires applicants for the LCSW license to hold a certified social worker (CSW) license while they gather 4,000 hours of training. The proposed amendment creates two exceptions to this requirement. The first exception is for an individual who is not licensed as a CSW in Utah because the individual is under an exemption established in Subsection 58-1-307(1)(a) for an individual who works at a federal agency and who is licensed in another state. The second exception is for an individual who gathers training hours outside Utah in a jurisdiction where the individual holds either a license equivalent to the CSW or is trained without a license under the laws of that jurisdiction. Subsection R156-60a-302d(4) is removed because the Division is removing itself from the exam pre-approval process. Under the new process, the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) determines who takes the ASWB exam. The new process will dramatically decrease the number of days that a social worker license application is pending with the Division.
