Board notes: Vermont licenses applied behavior analysts through OPR (26 V.S.A. ch. 95). Under 26 V.S.A. §4925(c), the Director may require CE by rule and 'may accept proof of current BACB certification as evidence of continuing competency,' i.e., maintaining BACB certification (32 CEUs/2 years incl. 4 ethics, plus 3 supervision CEUs for supervisors) satisfies the CE mandate. §4925(c)(2) additionally requires one or more CEUs in systematic oppression/anti-oppressive practice (effective July 2024 renewal). Total reflects the BACB baseline; the systemic-oppression CEU may be counted within or in addition to it.
