Relating to the licensing and regulation of behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts.

HB 5133 updates Texas licensing rules for behavior analysts and assistant behavior analysts by specifying which national certification bodies qualify for state recognition. It amends the Occupations Code to define "certifying entity" as organizations accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies or ANSI, such as the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. This affects licensed professionals in Texas who must use these approved credentials to maintain or obtain their licenses. The bill establishes clear standards for credential recognition but does not create new licensing requirements.
