850-X-2-.01 Definitions Of Terms
Summary
The Alabama State Board of Social Work Examiners published a Notice of Intended Action on September 22, 2026 to amend Rule 850-X-2-.01, which defines terms used in the board's regulations. The sole substantive change is the addition of a definition for 'multistate license,' reflecting the state's participation in or alignment with an interstate licensure compact for social workers. The public comment period closes December 4, 2026.
What this may mean
The amendment, if finalized, adds a multistate license definition to Alabama's social work licensing rules, which affects licensed clinical social workers and employers who credential them. The rule text also sets out scope-of-practice boundaries for clinical social workers, including exclusions for psychological testing, hospital admitting, prescribing, and laboratory or radiological orders.
