John Knapp Has No Right To Practice As LMSW Now

John Knapp's registration as LMSW (Licensed Master Social Work) in New York State expired in May 31, 2011. Now, he is not registered which means that he is not allowed to practice as a social worker in New York State:
To practice within New York State, a professional must be licensed and REGISTERED.


Update (posted on August 6, 2011): I just learned that Knapp renewed his registration and now his status appears as "Registered." When I checked his license information a couple days ago, he was not registered. So, even though he is registered now, he practiced without registration for over two months.

Hey Lom...

To you and any readers that may find your blog entry...

I wrote a memoir-type piece in which I bring up John's license registration expiration. That piece is here...
In Cog Nito

I was thinking today about the old adage that states, "Silence is golden."

I think I'll change it to "Silence is not always golden; often it is more like coal...or perhaps fertilizer."

I read something last night that I hadn't seen before on the New York Office of Professions link. The last sentence on this page states:
"Practicing a profession without a license and current registration is a felony in New York State."

Of course, there may be a grace period, as I mentioned in the blog piece In Cog Nito.

Thank you for this information. I did not read this before.
