Enacting the applied behavior analysis services in school act to authorize the provision of medically necessary behavioral health services by private providers in schools and requiring school districts to adopt policies for the provision of such services.

This bill allows private providers to offer medically necessary behavioral health services, such as applied behavior analysis, to students with autism in schools. School districts must create policies for these services, and private providers must undergo criminal background checks. Parents can request these services, and third-party payers will cover the costs, with schools not being responsible for these expenses.
