Proposed a 6% base-salary supplement for school social workers meeting the examination and licensing requirements; vetoed rather than enacted. Vetoed September 30, 2026; these provisions were proposed, not enacted by this bill. The complete retained history contains no override or later enactment. The original veto message has not been retained, so the governor’s reasons are not asserted. No measured change in prices, pay, spending or outcomes is established. This was compensation for eligible school social workers, not health-insurance coverage or a measured improvement in student health. The revised fiscal note’s salary-growth and inflation assumptions are forecast inputs, distinct from the proposed 6% base-salary supplement.

Directs the Department of State to select at least five licensing boards for priority review within 30 days and submit administrative, regulatory and legislative recommendations within 150 days. Requests and urges licensing boards to avoid new barriers unless justified by documented health or safety needs or required by law, and calls for more electronic processing. Proposed reforms include recognition of equivalent out-of-state experience and competency-based pathways. The order preserves statutory licensing standards and board authority; it does not itself enact universal license recognition. Priority selection is due within 30 days and recommendations within 150 days. Boards are requested and urged to avoid unsupported new barriers. Universal recognition, reduced training hours and expedited endorsements are recommendations subject to law, rather than universally enacted licensing rules. The chart does not isolate this action’s effect.
