AI Summary
This bill requires that a majority of the ownership, in terms of financial interests and voting rights, of professional service corporations, limited liability partnerships, and limited liability companies formed to practice public accountancy must belong to individuals licensed to practice public accountancy in some state. It also requires that all shareholders, partners, or members of such firms whose principal place of business is in New York and who practice public accountancy in the state must hold a valid New York license. The bill allows for non-licensee owners of these firms, but such owners must actively participate in the firm's business, and the firm's name cannot include certain terms like "certified public accountant" if it has non-licensee owners. The bill also establishes a triennial fee for non-licensee owners of New York-registered public accountancy firms.
