Oklahoma Joins Social Work Compact

EXCITING NEWS! The Social Work Interstate Licensing Compact has become law in Oklahoma, making that state the 26th to pass the compact. Once in effect, states in the compact will recognize each other's social work license, enabling social workers to practice in multiple states.

HB 2261, passed in 2025 allows social workers licensed in any compact member state to practice in Oklahoma without obtaining an additional state license. With the state currently meeting only 67% of its estimated need for licensed clinical social workers, the bill aims to break down barriers to recruitment and expand access to behavioral health services.
