BSRB Executive Director David Fye told the Social Work Advisory Committee that the agency is in the middle of a multi-year modernization and regulatory review effort that includes migrating licensure to the state's Acela enterprise licensing system, publishing an online jurisprudence course, and aligning unprofessional-conduct regulations across the professions the board licenses.

"We are about probably eight months into that process" of migrating to the Acela system, Fye said, describing a roughly two-year timeline to capture existing processes and convert a form-based system into a question-driven workflow for applicants. Staff said the migration is expected to improve application routing and payment integration for applicants and licensees.

The board also plans a voluntary, profession-specific jurisprudence webinar that will be available as a one-hour continuing-education activity. "It would be a 1 hour voluntary webinar... if individuals choose to attend it and participate, they'll get 1 hour of continuing education, for free," Fye said.

Separately, the BSRB is conducting a cross-profession review of unprofessional-conduct regulations. Fye said staff produced a side‑by‑side grid of proposed language to determine whether common language can be used across professions or whether occupation-specific text is necessary. Once the board approves proposed changes they will undergo technical review by the Department of Administration and the Attorney General's office, then be posted for a 60-day public comment period.

To expand remediation options for disciplined licensees, the board discussed an agreement with EBOS, a vendor offering course-based remediation and verification tools. Fye said the complaint review committee will collect more information on EBOS and how the company could be used as part of disciplinary remedies ranging from continuing education to supervised remediation.

Fye also summarized the agency's investigation policy and related FAQs, and said the board will continue strategic planning over the coming year, including a SWOT analysis and a review of items for possible 2026 legislation.
