Bill > HB1803

This bill directs the Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) to create a stakeholder advisory group to develop a new career group for licensed behavior analysts working in state government. The advisory group will include representatives from key state agencies like Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, Corrections, Education, and Juvenile Justice, as well as the Virginia Association for Behavior Analysis. The group's primary task is to provide recommendations on establishing a formal career track and defining appropriate roles within the health and human services occupational category for these professionals and their potential supervisees. The bill requires the advisory group to submit its findings and recommendations to DHRM by November 1, 2025, which will help standardize and recognize the professional roles of licensed behavior analysts employed by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
