## Chapter 75.5-01-01 — Organization of Board of Social Work Examiners

### § 75.5-01-01-01. Organization and functions of the board of social work examiners.

1. History. The 1983 legislative assembly passed comprehensive licensing legislation for the
social work profession. This Act has been codified as North Dakota Century Code chapter
43-41. The governor appoints a six-member board, with the members serving staggered
three-year terms.
Between 1983 and 1985, persons proving to be practicing social work or determined to be a
past or future employee doing social work as affirmed by an employer were allowed a waiver
of the baccalaureate degree or licensure requirements. Eligible persons were North Dakota
residents practicing social work in North Dakota or another state, and non-North Dakota
residents engaged in the practice of social work in another state but offered a social work
position in North Dakota.
2. Functions. The board of social work examiners or its authorized representative is responsible
for licensing qualified applicants to practice social work and to ensure that licensees comply
with the laws and regulations governing that practice.
3. Inquiries. Request for information concerning the licensing of social workers may be made to:
