**Although these states have signed the Bill there is still a loophole for Insurance providers. If your insurance provider is "Self Funded" then they are exempt from this law.** If you qualify for MEDICAID in your state, find out if they offer a Medicaid WAIVER. This is specifically for children with Special Needs and it will cover ABA therapy. However sometimes there is a waiting list for the Waiver.
