The Behavior Analyst Board published an Emergency Rule to implement a temporary reduction of licensing certificate renewal fees. The Declaration of Emergency published in the September Louisiana Register noted, "In order to assist the public during this crisis, the board has approved a temporary reduction of renewal fees for Licensed Behavior Analysts and State Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts."
