1. A. Any person who becomes a resident of this state and who is or has been, immediately preceding his residency in this state, licensed to practice social work by another state which grants a like privilege of reciprocity and who meets the educational and work experience qualifications for licensure in this state may, upon payment of the necessary fee and submission of documentation as required by the Board, be licensed under the provisions of the Social Worker's Licensing Act.
2. B. In cases where reciprocity does not exist the Oklahoma State Board of Licensed Social Workers may endorse the actions of another state licensing board upon receipt of information by that board documenting that the applicant has met the educational and supervisory requirements of the Oklahoma State Board in another state, and has passed the same examination or a more stringent examination than that used by the Oklahoma State Board of Licensed Social Workers.
