| 19 | other ownership interest, agent, and employee who renders | ||||||
| 20 | applied behavior analysis services holds a currently valid | ||||||
| 21 | license issued under this Act. No business shall be created | ||||||
| 22 | that (i) has a stated purpose that includes behavior analysis, | ||||||
| 23 | or (ii) practices or holds itself out as available to practice | ||||||
