Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 54.1-3703 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 54.1-3703. Board of Social Work; members.

The Board of Social Work shall regulate the practice of social work.

The Board shall be composed of seven nine nonlegislative citizen members appointed by the Governor, five seven of whom shall be licensed social workers who have been in active practice of social work for at least five years prior to appointment and two of whom shall be nonlegislative citizen members at large. The terms of the members of the Board shall be four years.

2.  That the Board of Social Work shall consult with relevant stakeholders, including educators, professionals, and appropriate agencies and organizations, to determine (i) if current education and training requirements for social workers are adequate to assure the public of professional competency and (ii) whether current exemptions from the requirements for licensure best serve the citizens of the Commonwealth.
