Bill > S08362

This bill extends the expiration date of a provision in existing law related to applied behavior analysis (ABA) from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2030. Specifically, the bill allows certain employees of state agencies like the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, the Office of Children and Family Services, and the Office of Mental Health to continue performing duties of a licensed behavior analyst or certified behavior analyst assistant as part of their job, even if they do not hold the specific professional titles authorized under the education law. The key limitation is that these employees cannot use official titles from article 167 of the education law. This extension provides continued flexibility for state agency employees working in behavioral analysis roles while maintaining professional standards. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
