The bill amends existing law regarding the practice of behavior analysis in Wyoming by allowing family members and caregivers to deliver behavior analyst services under specific conditions. It introduces new provisions that permit caregivers or family members to act as behavior technicians, provided they are trained and supervised by a licensed behavior analyst or assistant behavior analyst. The language clarifies that these individuals must not represent themselves as licensed professionals and can only deliver services to the recipient under the supervision of a licensed analyst.
Additionally, the bill grants the board of psychology the authority to create necessary rules for implementation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the completion of legislative processes. This legislation aims to expand access to behavior analysis services while ensuring that proper supervision and training are maintained.
