Public Accountancy Act of 2025; enact

HB 148, the Public Accountancy Act of 2025, revises Georgia's licensing rules for certified public accountants (CPAs). It requires applicants to complete 150 college credits (including an accounting concentration) and establishes new experience options: one year for those with a bachelor's degree or two years for those without. The bill also updates requirements for accounting firms, reciprocity agreements, and makes minor conforming changes to local government audit laws. These changes directly affect individuals seeking CPA licensure and accounting firms operating in Georgia.
