Retirement And Reactivation

(1) A person who holds a current license and does not intend to practice as a Licensed Behavior Analyst or Licensed Assistant Behavior Analyst may apply to convert an active license to retired status. An individual who holds a retired license is not required to pay the renewal fee. (2) A licensee may apply for retired status by filing a completed affidavit of retirement form and any required documentation with the Committee’s administrative office. (3) A person whose license has been retired and who has not been out of clinical practice or an educational setting an excess of two (2) years, or a person whose Tennessee license has been retired and who has been licensed in good standing and in continuous practice in another state, may re-enter active status provided they currently hold B.A.C.B. national certification, and there are no criminal or practice act violations which would prohibit initial licensure, by submitting to the Committee’s administrative office a reinstatement application for licensure reactivation and the license renewal fee. (4) A person whose license has been retired and who has not practiced in a clinical or educational setting for over two (2) years may re-enter active status provided they currently hold B.A.C.B. national certification, and there are no criminal or practice act violations which would prohibit initial licensure, by submitting to the Committee’s administrative office a reinstatement application for licensure reactivation, the license renewal fee, and by obtaining six (6) months of clinical supervision by a licensed behavior analyst who has a BACB or BACB-D certification.
