Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed Senate Bill 723 - Certified Social Workers-Clinical - Practice - Definition.
This bill expands the scope of practice for an individual licensed as a certified social
worker-clinical to include the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and
emotional conditions and impairments, in addition to psychosocial conditions and
mental disorders.
