Board notes: North Dakota separately licenses behavior analysts (LBA) under NDCC ch. 43-64, administered by the Board of Integrative Health Care. NDAC 112-05-01-10 requires 32 approved CE hours biennially including 4 ethics; licenses renew November 15 of odd-numbered years. Extensions/waivers for illness, military service, or extenuating circumstances. The ND rule does NOT impose a separate supervision-CE requirement; the 3 supervision CEUs are the national BACB standard for supervisors maintaining BCBA certification.
