IN HB1102

Public schools must, upon request, consult with and allow licensed or board certified behavior analysts and certified registered behavior technicians to provide applied behavioral analysis (ABA) therapy services to students with IEPs or Section 504 plans who recently enrolled and were already receiving ABA services

Outside ABA providers may deliver services at the school for 30-90 days after a student begins attending, and services must be provided in person (not via telehealth)

Schools must conduct expanded criminal history and child protection index checks on providers, or accept results from checks conducted within the past 5 years; providers are responsible for check costs unless the school agrees to pay

Schools are not required to employ, contract with, or pay outside ABA providers; service costs remain the responsibility of parents or their insurers unless the school voluntarily agrees to pay

School corporations, public schools, and personnel receive civil liability immunity for good-faith compliance, and the Department of Education must provide implementation guidance by September 1, 2026
