One clarification was mentioned indirectly for the May issue. In Dr. Comaty’s letter to the editor he stated that the Times was inaccurate and it “… reported that DHH would support the startup costs for the new board.” The Times correctly quoted the Legislative Fiscal Office who said that expenditures would be borne by DHH. The most recent note from the Legislative Fiscal Office notes the same thing.
However, Dr. Comaty appears more right than the Legislative Fiscal Office. DHH is not on the hook for it. SB 134 includes the direction that the psychology board will help the behavioral analyst board by sharing resources. Sources note that there is an MOU in the works and should generally make this “fair,” but time will tell. We thank Dr. Comaty for this clarification. The Times will investigate this and report in future issues.
