Summary

The bill adds occupational therapists to the list of professionals exempt from needing a behavior‑analysis license, and it makes any business owner or officer who makes clinical decisions without a license subject to civil penalties. It also allows public schools, school districts, charter schools and 501(c)(3) nonprofits to employ or contract with licensed behavior analysts even if the organization’s leaders are not licensed. The changes update related professional service rules and take effect immediately.
