What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person may not take the examination required to become

a certified public accountant in this state unless the person has received a bachelor's

or higher degree with an accounting concentration or with experience reasonably

equivalent to an accounting concentration from an institution that is a bachelor's

degree-granting institution of higher education accredited by the Commission on

Institutions of Higher Education (now known as the Higher Learning Commission)

of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools or its regional equivalent.

This bill broadens the qualifying institutions to include any bachelor's

degree-granting institution of higher education that is accredited by an accrediting

agency that is recognized by the secretary of the U.S. Department of Education.
