Summary
The law tells the Department of Health to pay for applied behavior analysis therapy provided by registered behavior technicians to Medicaid recipients with autism, and it bars the department from demanding a certification before reimbursement, except allowing a 150‑day window to obtain one. This expands therapy access while setting clear, limited credential rules for providers.
