The board may grant a provisional social work license to a person who holds, at the time of application, a social work license or certificate issued by another jurisdiction acceptable to the board, and who applies for the provisional license in writing and submits all required academic and experience documentation required for licensure. The applicant must have passed an equivalent licensing test as accepted by the board. If granted a provisional license, the individual must use the appropriate licensing title followed by the word "provisional." If the board deems that the applicant meets the requirements for licensure set forth in this Act, the board will issue a regular license. If the board determines that the applicant does not meet this state's licensing requirements, the board will deny the application, and the provisional license will no longer be valid.
