Bills We're Watching

Check back here or sign up for one of our mailing lists to get more information on what bills we're watching at the Minnesota State Legislature. MNABA's primary focus in the legislature is to advocate for licensure of BCBAs and BCBA-Ds to ensure the delivery of quality services, bills to support the expansion of delivered services, and bills that will improve the quality of services delivered.

We encourage you to find your legislator here and reach out to them about your thoughts on each of these bills.
