Public accountancy; revise certain laws regulating the practice of.

SB 2830 revises Mississippi's requirements for becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). It mandates that applicants pass all sections of the Uniform CPA Exam and meet specific experience thresholds (1 year for most pathways, 2 years for those with only a bachelor's degree) before receiving a license. The bill also updates rules for out-of-state CPAs seeking practice privileges in Mississippi to align with these revised education, exam, and experience standards. These changes directly affect new CPA applicants and licensed professionals from other states wishing to practice in Mississippi. The bill exempts those licensed before January 1, 2012, from the new requirements.
