Summary

The legislation amends the Illinois Behavior Analyst Licensing Act to add occupational therapists to the list of professionals who may perform or advertise applied behavior analysis without a behavior‑analyst license. It also makes any business owner, partner, shareholder or agent who makes clinical decisions without a license subject to violation. Finally, it updates corporate statutes so behavior‑analysis services can be combined with other related professions in professional corporations and LLCs.
