SB 153 creates a social work recruitment and retention program, offering stipends to social work students in practicum placements. The stipends, based on supervised fieldwork hours, prioritize students in mental health professional shortage areas and those with financial need. Participating institutions must report stipend usage and outcomes to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, which will also submit biennial reports to state leaders on the program's impact.
