2021 Michigan Social Work General Rules Update

On March 31, 2021, the Michigan Social Work General Rules were officially updated through LARA, with changes made in regards to continuing education and wording clarification on telehealth (as well as some smaller changes). 

These new changes took effect immediately and will impact all social workers, starting with those that renewed or gained a license as of May 1, 2021.
