Fye said Kansas's enabling legislation for the social work compact has passed and the compact commission has held meetings to adopt bylaws and form committees. He said he serves on the commission's rules and finance committees. \"The rules committee will go through and look at all of the model language for the compact,\" he said, and the finance committee is evaluating options for a data system that will track where multistate licensees practice.

The compact commission has temporary funding from a federal grant and support organizations, Fye said, but that initial funding is time-limited (about five years) and the commission must determine sustainable long-term funding, likely by charging a fee for multistate licenses. He said the data system choice is the major time driver because the system must track multistate license activity across states; that work will require either adapting an existing compact data system or building a new one via an RFP process.

Fye said the compact's model language permits multistate licenses for bachelor's, master's and clinical levels but that states differ in licensing pathways and the commission must settle details such as which licensing examinations qualify at each level. He estimated about a year before the compact could be operational but cautioned that the timeline depends on decisions about the data system, funding and technical work.

Fye also noted a compact-related compliance issue for Kansas: the compact requires that licensees practicing under the compact have completed a background check. Kansas does not currently require background checks for all social-worker licensure applicants, so the board will need to consider whether to require background checks at least for those seeking multistate licensure or for all licensees.

Committee members asked about whether the compact would mirror other compacts; Fye said it is more similar to the multistate nursing-license model (broad multistate practice) than to compacts focused on telehealth, and clarified that licensees are still responsible for following the jurisprudence and unprofessional-conduct standards of the state where the client is located.

Fye said commission meetings and committee work are open to the public and that he will continue to provide routine updates to the advisory committee as the compact proceeds.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kansas BSRB - Social Work Advisory Committee Meeting on June 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","David Fye, Kansas commissioner to the Social Work Licensure Compact, told the Social Work Advisory Committee that the compact commission has adopted bylaws and formed committees but that choosing or building a data system to track multistate licenses is the main delay to full operation.","taxTitle","Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board, State Agencies, Organizations, Executive, Kansas","taxId",22355,"location","Kansas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6544183,"BSRB executive director reports on CE Broker rollout, licensing system migration and records modernization",2463,415000,2878000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800509-2605b78f904985a5b30ef4ffcf1a2e4d&start=415&end=2878","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800509-2605b78f904985a5b30ef4ffcf1a2e4d/thumbnail_415000.jpg","/articles/6544183/Kansas/BSRB-executive-director-reports-on-CE-Broker-rollout-licensing-system-migration-and-records-modernization","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544183-935263890f8f9f7f12f0ac5d211ad807/orig.mp4?Expires=1770590306&Signature=Nc-NwK0tvv35DQTSXDJtxXx70~r~HGpKYijz8YT9X11uJmr3W-FsF2CVmoan~mLHGcn8QV87mGY3OU2oywnEdYIw5ArhITkhXqfZA-d8J1j~tK55A0KlP4866bnaU1P6mOkI03pNQM776pkhN6floG~abib8PZ2uQDN~5CxJort1v26Kr~PSaTQGavhRgE0LW23MNno4ZuYZGmeOHOhcHmp05Jred7Ed9trxykJkL2FE5fkK7eu2U6EtUIgxTaMQJvcBTC~bG-WxGxncM9eoS2Tx9CCgUVisUGTkxMnIWYPIm0crZgYN4wVsErEy8~ofkvTTOYQnscptbB2ax6aqiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the committee\u0000meeting, Executive Director David Fye provided operational updates for the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (BSRB), including the CE Broker continuing education portal, a planned migration to the state enterprise licensing system, an electronic records-retention project, and an ongoing rewrite of unprofessional conduct regulations.

Fye said the board partnered with CE Broker last fall to provide a free portal that lets licensees upload continuing education documentation and helps staff conduct audits more quickly. \"They've completed their hours. So if they're selected for audit, we can log in to the portal, verify the hours, verify that they're in the correct categories, and then approve the person for audit much quicker,\" Fye said. The BSRB made CE Broker optional and will meet with company representatives to gather user feedback; staff will report back to the committee on signups and issues.

Fye also described a planned migration to the state's enterprise licensing system under a statewide agreement with a vendor called Acela. The change is intended to add an online initial application process, integrated payments and other workflow improvements. He said agencies already live on the platform and estimated the BSRB\u0000would go live in about a year and a half given the implementation queue.

Separately, Fye told members the agency is updating paper-based retention schedules so licensing, investigation and discipline records can be preserved electronically with appropriate backups; that effort requires approval from the Kansas Historical Society and careful technical checks.

On regulatory work, Fye said the board is reviewing unprofessional conduct language drafted across professions to determine where consistent cross-professional language makes sense and where profession-specific language should remain. He described the effort as multi-meeting and multi-year work to modernize regulations that in some cases have not been updated in more than 20 years.

The board also plans an all-day, out-of-town meeting in Manhattan on Monday, Sept. 29; Fye said logistics are being finalized and the meeting will be open to the public but may not be streamed.

Committee members offered user feedback about CE Broker. One member said they paid an optional annual CE Broker fee and found the course offerings and pricing competitive; others asked for clearer Kansas-specific preapproval categories. Fye said staff will collect feedback and report results to the committee.","Executive Director David Fye updated the Social Work Advisory Committee on the BSRB's partnership with CE Broker for continuing education tracking, a planned migration to the state's enterprise licensing system (Acela), and efforts to modernize records retention and regulatory language.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6544188,"Kansas BSRB social work advisory committee recommends two new members",2366,244000,2610000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800509-2605b78f904985a5b30ef4ffcf1a2e4d&start=244&end=2610","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800509-2605b78f904985a5b30ef4ffcf1a2e4d/thumbnail_244000.jpg","/articles/6544188/Kansas/Kansas-BSRB-social-work-advisory-committee-recommends-two-new-members","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6544188-579e1051b000f4e2058c0c542e72965d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770590306&Signature=KvuWd57sGX0lTB4UCF7N97bxd0jR7wE1CJbzcjGw0UOj56osDAfmCCyGhm2xLXYKfpE6bfnEFeP4d2jqaTL53W-z1lEjybVFKDEAYAZTaDKrghLFZDJOSpIUM8vnc~PHp7EY37sp0tz3KtOQgCmfnSAjVKavLaew5aDh1NXBwJhN0nK5JLPptFrHTS0kG-Y1KY7Aen68XjKw6G0dzM9ZcOm5pLQ05EjbwBLng6LXlkFcG1cOP1vZEFR37k6RMZnR6zZhPOwgrrOmedyuGQMnl7WQNY6q7K7pne7SJ28MU0OxJUqacja6ewN5eIK~zerQccatwxO8lGqSaZhPHb~PhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a remote meeting of the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board\u0000(BSRB) Social Work Advisory Committee, members reviewed 23 applications and recommended Anas Boyer and Callie (Callie) Worth as the two candidates to fill upcoming advisory committee vacancies.

Committee cochair Cynthia Shundel opened discussion of the two openings and the applicant pool, noting two members had not sought reappointment and that \"we had 23 applicants for those openings.\" The committee conducted a multi-stage tallying process to narrow the field to nine candidates and then asked members to select two finalists. After the final tally Cynthia Shundel announced, \"Okay. Well, it looks like, then, Cali Worth and Anis Boyd are our 2 selections for, joining the social work advisory committee.\" The committee asked executive director David Fye to summarize the recommendation for the board chair.

The advisory committee\u0000policy requires the BSRB chair to make formal appointments; the committee's selection is a recommendation to the chair. David Fye said he will draft a summary of the committee's recommendation for the board chair, David Anderson, and present it at the next full board meeting; the chair typically appoints advisory members at a board meeting. Fye described the follow-up steps: he will prepare the recommendation letter, have it reviewed by committee leadership, then submit it to the board chair for appointment at the next full board meeting.

The committee noted the goal of geographic and credential diversity among candidates. Members who participated in the ranking process cited factors they weighed, including clinical and supervisory experience, practice setting, and representation from across Kansas. Several candidates received multiple votes during the narrowing process; the transcript records the committee's expressed preference for Boyer and Worth but does not record a formal written motion with mover/second in the minutes provided.

The committee also discussed next steps for notifying the selected candidates and said that, once the chair confirms appointments at the board meeting, staff will contact the appointees and invite them to the committee's August meeting.","At a remote May meeting, the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board\u0000(BSRB) Social Work Advisory Committee reviewed 23 applicants and recommended Anas Boyer and Callie Worth to fill two open advisory committee seats; the committee will forward the recommendations to the BSRB chair for appointment.","actionData","errors"]
