Relating to: various changes to the laws governing the practice of accounting and modifying various administrative rules promulgated by the Accounting Examining Board relating to accounting.
SB 732 updates licensing requirements for certified public accountants (CPAs) in the state. It requires new applicants to complete 150 semester hours of accounting/business education (replacing prior thresholds), with specific coursework determined by the Accounting Examining Board. The bill also revises work experience rules, mandating that experience must involve accounting, tax, or consulting services and be verified, while allowing government/industry roles to count. Existing out-of-state CPAs with verified licenses can continue practicing without reapplying. These changes apply to all individuals seeking CPA licensure or renewal under the state's accounting laws.
