SB 479 was filed today on behalf of CalABA.

SB 479 was introduced to create CA licensure for behavior analysts.

CalABA is very pleased to announce that Senator Pat Bates of the 36th District has just introduced SB 479 which will create licensure for behavior analysts based on BACB certification.

The bill will be heard in the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee in March or April. We will be alerting CalABA members, supporters, and allies over the next several weeks as to how we can work together to support this important recognition of our practice.

The CalABA Board of Directors and Public Policy Committee very much appreciates the enthusiastic response from the membership and ABA supporters for its public policy activity. We heard from many of you who attended the conference that you are with CalABA and want to work together to protect our right to practice and ensure that those who receive ABA services do so from qualified professionals.

We look forward to the hard work ahead and know that together we can accomplish important goals.
