Practice of behavior analyst and technician-family members.
HB 143 modifies Wyoming law to allow family members or caregivers to provide behavior analysis services under the supervision of licensed professionals, without requiring their own license. It specifically permits unlicensed caregivers or family members to deliver assigned services (like implementing treatment plans) but prohibits them from designing assessments or using licensed titles like "behavior analyst." The bill also clarifies that licensed supervisors remain responsible for oversight, and specifies that family members can only serve recipients already under a licensed professional's care. The changes would take effect July 1, 2024, pending final passage.
