Bill > HB1261

This bill makes several changes to Indiana's behavior analysis licensing regulations. It extends the expiration date for the term "practitioner" to include behavior analysts until June 30, 2026, and establishes new temporary licensing and certification processes for behavior professionals. Specifically, the bill creates a temporary license for behavior analysts that can be issued within five business days of a complete application, lasting 90 days or until a full license is granted. A similar temporary license is established for assistant behavior analysts, who must be directly supervised by a fully licensed behavior analyst. The bill also introduces a temporary certification for behavior technicians, which requires applicants to meet eligibility requirements from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board and pass a background check. These temporary credentials can only be issued once and cannot be renewed, designed to help professionals more quickly enter the field while completing full licensing requirements. Additionally, the bill updates various administrative rules related to the board's ability to establish standards, fees, and licensing protocols for behavior analysis professionals.
