Behavior Analysis Reforms

Introduced·4/30/26

North Carolina S974 reforms behavior analysis practices by setting supervision and telehealth rules for technicians.

North Carolina S974 introduces reforms to the practice of behavior analysis, requiring that registered behavior technicians must be supervised by licensed professionals and cannot have individual contact with patients until they have completed 80 hours of services under supervision. The bill also limits the use of telehealth for behavior analysis to areas with a population density below 400 people per square mile and restricts the number of hours a minor can receive behavior analysis services in a week.
