The Legislative Committee follows and reports to the members on relevant federal and state bills and policies of concern to clinical social workers and their clientele. Additionally, we develop needed legislation or positions as an individual organization or in coalitions with other groups. In past years, this committee has been very active in protecting the licensure and vendorship of clinical social workers. It has also coordinated the participation of CSCSW members in key task forces with other professional disciplines in the State of Colorado. One or more members of this committee participate in a joint legislative committee with NASW, which hires and oversees a lobbyist to represent our common concerns in the state legislature. Our presence at the State capital serves to give us a voice and build relationships with policy makers that affect the social, legal, and financial issues that effect our clients and the practice of clinical social work.
