The Virginia Board of Social Work voted 7-1-0 to adopt a proposed stage action amending 18VAC140-20 to combine LMSW and supervisee terminology in social work regulatory language.
Matt Novak presented recommended changes from the Regulatory Committee and listed specific edits by page and subsection, including an updated definition of "Supervisee," title changes, clerical corrections, and insertion of "registration" language to clarify requirements and prevent applicants from being incorrectly required to take the LMSW exam. Ms. Mattis moved to adopt the stage action as amended; Kimberly Jackson seconded the motion and the Board recorded the vote as 7-1-0.
Board members discussed the amendments as clarifying and largely clerical, intended to align the licensing/regulatory text with intended practice and registration procedures. The adopted changes will proceed through the administrative rule process for formal publication.
