Chair Linda Heitzman Powell asked staff to confirm continued interest and, if Holly accepts, to forward her name to the BSRB chair for appointment. Executive Director David Fye confirmed he would contact Holly first and then Danielle if Holly declines.

The executive director summarized open‑ended responses and recommended the committee identify recurring practice problems and, where appropriate, propose solutions or coordinate outreach with other organizations.

Survey highlights presented by staff included: for question 15 (practice‑related issues) the licensed behavior analyst (LBA) group had 56 respondents; common themes included supervision concerns, providers offering behavior‑analysis services without appropriate education or licensing, insurance and billing problems, workforce burnout and ethical practice worries. Among the assistant behavior analysts who responded (three respondents), answers included reports of unethical billing practices by a former employer and needs for trauma‑informed care training.

On the supervision question (question 17), 54 LBAs answered; 38 of those indicated no negative supervision issues in the past two years. For respondents reporting problems, the most frequent theme was inadequate or inconsistent supervision — comments cited lack of constructive feedback, supervisees being undersupervised and insufficient supervisor training.

Committee members said the open responses are useful but recommended categorizing and consolidating the free‑text replies before proposing targeted remedies. Members suggested options such as producing a supervision guidance/manual for supervisors and supervisees, issuing targeted continuing‑education recommendations (for example, supervisor training or ethics), and sharing findings with professional associations and CE providers to encourage curriculum or program development.

The committee agreed to continue reviewing the survey in small sections; the next meeting will cover question 16 (telehealth issues) and question 18 (use of artificial intelligence in practice). Advisory committee member Alice Chung volunteered to extract and organize the question‑15 and question‑17 free‑text responses into a manipulable format for committee review before the next meeting.

Why it matters: licensee‑reported patterns around supervision and out‑of‑scope practice can indicate areas where the board, associations or educators might focus training, guidance or regulatory clarifications to improve public protection and workforce quality.","BSRB’s survey of behavior-analyst licensees and assistants showed recurring concerns about supervision quality, scope-of-practice issues and billing; the advisory committee agreed to analyze comments on supervision and practice issues and to review telehealth and artificial‑intelligence responses at the next meeting.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6585832,"BSRB reports 1,757 licensees activated free CE Broker accounts; integration and multi‑credential syncing remain future work",466,1522000,1988000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5590565-126a355fa16cd1525927ebda720ca01a&start=1522&end=1988","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5590565-126a355fa16cd1525927ebda720ca01a/thumbnail_1522000.jpg","/articles/6585832/Kansas/BSRB-reports-1757-licensees-activated-free-CE-Broker-accounts-integration-and-multicredential-syncing-remain-future-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6585832-bd0c8aadf671ff51447a1ddacc897180/orig.mp4?Expires=1770499770&Signature=dmo8tv9YdfsqNNDpRTpCCb~hz-uDEmtu6iXQwG75zJQ4zv4kr0MG50u1fGlSem59HXydtsZxpghQ8mEYieCfE~0OypKCGrDx4l6eRc-5I-uMKX5LQGYTZWP3D4muvLowhTxRMnsyuijpUsBeAMRjOdDT3hsoR2d9NGvMTd~W7WgJGkQkwQGhwCWoPeTkgTw5t7ikHapuN~s-ToUZywxjQPO2afALDFDnjTJTSbFhkf5x2yNsScrYxVzu-Ogto~Lgu6gRZvSL8clPVdRZq6R1alGlo8snYJN84WFZA37bo1O3Uj7tDNN1CcXi3NeC42hlij8CRt6vmjIxXJR9k9sQ9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Aug. 15 meeting of the Behavior Analyst Advisory Committee, Executive Director David Fye gave an update on the board’s pilot with CE Broker, the vendor that provides voluntary continuing‑education tracking for licensing boards and licensees.

Fye said about 1,757 licensees — roughly 11% of the BSRB’s eligible pool — had activated free CE Broker accounts since the board’s rollout. He said CE Broker reported 26 support tickets related to the implementation: 19 tickets came from BSRB licensees and seven from nonlicensees (several related to a separate preapproval workflow for social‑work providers).

BSRB staff told the committee they plan to add clearer directions and a permanent link to CE Broker on each profession’s renewal webpage, and to add a paragraph about CE Broker to the renewal reminder emails sent at 90, 60 and 30 days before license expiration. Fye said the board hopes these steps will increase adoption before the end of the current two‑year license cycles.

On technical integration, Fye said a live link between the board’s future licensing/renewal system and CE Broker is a longer‑term goal — likely a year to 18 months away — so that renewals can check uploaded CE evidence in CE Broker rather than requiring manual uploads during audit. Committee members also asked about syncing CE records with external credentialing bodies (for example, the Behavior Analyst Certification Board). Fye said cross‑system syncing would require cooperation and data‑sharing agreements with those outside entities and that it is a desirable but technically and legally complex future step.

Why it matters: CE Broker can shorten audits and provide licensees a central place to store certificates, but the board said adoption so far is modest; staff will highlight the service in renewal communications and explore system integration to make uptake easier.","BSRB staff reported an 11% adoption rate of CE Broker accounts among licensees (1,757 activations), 26 technical support tickets since launch and plans to better promote the service and pursue longer-term integration with the renewal system and external credentialing bodies.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6585837,"Kansas BSRB proposes mandatory background checks for new and reinstated licenses, KBI fee $57",298,3338000,3636000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5590565-126a355fa16cd1525927ebda720ca01a&start=3338&end=3636","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5590565-126a355fa16cd1525927ebda720ca01a/thumbnail_3338000.jpg","/articles/6585837/Kansas/Kansas-BSRB-proposes-mandatory-background-checks-for-new-and-reinstated-licenses-KBI-fee-57","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6585837-908fb0d05a6fb71506c63ecd3395918f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770499770&Signature=PHFbsMkqF1XptdOJ3N5oLLe8pWMUhLs5uC8o4LImddYhZESkf5mfFIxNQ5e2068wQl6r3SlUuqdipdEHzyuWXEKKCbrsLZQ~YrsRCIwYrK74oT6Wda6B6mGCWx44kmglZxuFLVKfWK4E1FqoBUC0ysr9wmNnOhLosn8OEBK6ArxJcpEC~2CC6cugO1PtYPKYMtO3bm18FsLui~kKmTEP~onaIpj3Qs-FdQMZBDjL8Sxzl8TFu~WVcQ5WXNKn~zxC~oeHxNtrFmYqopHlmTvqnUSrhLnVTT8GUOeaCHNSv05Lx~X3IVhmPhAYEhYxKJ-vbRwbPVp2aoVCqFDUV2~M5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The executive director of the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board told the Behavior Analyst Advisory Committee on Aug. 15 that the board is preparing to require criminal background checks for new license applicants, for license reinstatements and in some disciplinary investigations.

David Fye said the board’s enabling statute already authorizes such a requirement and that the Kansas Bureau of Investigation would perform the checks. The KBI fee would be $57 per check, he said, and the board expects that staff will need additional time to review checks and that investigations could increase where background checks reveal concerns.

Fye framed the change in the context of multistate licensure compacts. He told the advisory committee that two of the compacts already in use require background checks as a condition of participating, and a third compact will require them once fully operational. Without a background-check requirement, licensees would be ineligible to practice under those compacts, he said.

Fye said the board discussed the proposal at a recent board meeting and was supportive of adopting background checks for the situations described. He said the board plans to implement the requirement for initial applications and reinstatements rather than requiring background checks from every current licensee on renewal cycles; however, the board would allow current licensees to opt in if they wish to be eligible for compact privileges.

Fye also said he has discussed operational details with the KBI and is working through how to implement the process and how staff will record and manage checks in the board’s tracking systems. He said the $57 fee would be paid to the KBI and not to the BSRB. The board will bring implementation details forward as they are finalized.

The committee did not take a formal vote on the change during the meeting; the item was presented as an executive director update and the board-level discussion and support were reported to the advisory committee.

Why it matters: multistate compacts allow licensed practitioners to provide services across state lines without obtaining a separate license in each state, so the background-check requirement affects practitioners who want that mobility. The fee and anticipated staff time represent a new operational cost and administrative step for applicants and for the board.","The Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board is moving to require criminal background checks for initial licensure, reinstatements and some disciplinary situations to align with multistate compacts; the Kansas Bureau of Investigation would charge $57 per check and staff time to review results is expected to increase.","actionData","errors"]
