In response to the backlog of applications pending before the Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners, the Council directed its Executive Director at the June 16, 2020 regular meeting to coordinate with HHSC PLCU staff to develop a plan to address the backlog. The Council directed that the plan specifically address three areas of concern related to the backlog. These areas consist of:
- Development and planning for revisions to the licensing process that will prevent or reduce the likelihood of future backlogs;
- Development and implementation of a plan to eliminate the existing backlog in the licensing process; and
- Development of a plan for ensuring continued timely licensing operations under current executive orders, as well as any reasonably foreseeable future amendments or expansion of those orders.
The Council held a special called meeting on July 28th to review and approve the action plan. The action plan can be viewed by clicking here.
