What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person may be qualified to receive a certificate as a

certified public accountant from the Accounting Examining Board if, among other

requirements, the person completes at least 150 semester hours with an accounting

concentration at an accredited bachelor's degree-granting institution of higher

education. This bill reduces that requirement to 120 semester hours. However,

under the bill, if the board grants a certificate as a certified public accountant to a

person who has completed at least 150 semester hours with an accounting

concentration, the certificate the board grants to that person must reflect that the

person completed that number of semester hours.
