**IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE UPDATE**

Bill A6963, to license Behavior Analysts, has passed the New York State Assembly and Senate!

Licensed Behavior Analyst and Certified Behavior Analyst Assistant will be the 50th and 51st licensed professions in the state of New York!

Thanks to the hard work of Assemblyman Joseph Morelle, Senator Charles Fuschillo, NYSABA Counsel (Kevin Quinn), Autism Speaks, and past and present Board Members of NYSABA, Behavior Analysts will now have a licensed profession in the state of New York, permitting us to provide quality services to children with autism or related disorders and their families.

Once the Bill is signed by the Governor, the law governing the field of Applied Behavior Analysis in New York State will be effective on July 1, 2014, with exception for provisions relating to licensure of individuals who are currently Board Certified Behavior Analysts, who will be licensed immediately upon filing with the NYS Department of Education and filling out the moral character paperwork and paying the New York State licensing fee.
