kyoki_tenchi is looking at trying to obtain social work licensure in Georgia, I figured I'd take a gander at the licensure/reciprocity regulations in my two possible future locations: Massachusetts and California.
Massachusetts allows full reciprocity for all licenses. This means I could get my LISW here in Ohio next year, and it would become an LICSW in Massachusetts, provided I fill out the forms and provide some professional references.
California does not allow reciprocity with any states. On top of that, they have CRAZY requirements, including 6 years of supervision, a California-specific written exam /and/ an oral exam. DEAR JESUS GOD! (You can practice unlicensed in CA with a BSW or an MSW, but still!)
That's craziness!
