(2) Holds a credential in school social work issued by a nationally recognized credentialing organization in social work, or demonstrates competency in school social work by successful passage of a school social worker exam approved by the committee;

(3) Holds a license issued by the committee; and

(4) Submits the fee as required by rule of the committee.

3. The committee shall promulgate rules and shall charge fees necessary to implement this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2012, shall be invalid and void.

4. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any school social work program verification and acknowledgment of completion issued by the committee under subsection 2 of this section shall not be deemed a license, certificate, registration or permit for any purpose, and such documents convey no authority to practice social work in Missouri and convey no authority to use any social work title in Missouri. Each school social work program verification and acknowledgment of completion issued by the committee under subsection 2 of this section shall state on its face that it:

(1) Is not a license, certificate, registration or permit;

(2) Conveys no authority to practice social work in Missouri; and

(3) Conveys no authority to use any social work title in Missouri.

5. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, school social work program verification and acknowledgment of completion issued by the committee under subsection 2 of this section shall not:

(1) Expire;

(2) Be subject to renewal;

(3) Be subject to denial or discipline under section 337.630;
