Board Certified Behavior Analyst Loan Repayment Program; create.

SB 2524 creates a Mississippi program to help Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) repay student loans. It directly affects BCBAs who work full-time (36+ hours/week) in Mississippi, hold a valid state license, and have graduate school loans. The program provides annual payments: $1,500 in the first year, $2,500 in the second, and $3,500 in the third year of employment, applied directly to qualifying loans. The program limits new participants to 150 per year, expires July 1, 2028, and requires recipients to maintain their license and employment.
