HEALTH/BEHAVIORAL: Repeals the termination of the Louisiana Behavior Analyst Board
This bill removes the legal provision that set a termination date for the Louisiana Behavior Analyst Board, allowing the regulatory body to continue operating. By repealing the specific statute that established the board's expiration, the legislation ensures the board remains active for overseeing behavior analysts in the state. The change directly affects the board's ability to regulate professionals and maintain oversight without a fixed end date. No new powers or requirements are added; the bill simply eliminates the existing deadline for the board's existence.
