Bill > HB63

This bill extends the sunset provisions for the State Board of Public Accountancy in Maryland until July 1, 2030, which means the board will continue to operate and maintain its statutory and regulatory authority beyond the previous expiration date of July 1, 2025. The Maryland Department of Labor is required to submit a detailed report to the Joint Audit and Evaluation Committee by July 1, 2028, providing information about the State Board of Public Accountancy as specified by the committee. The sunset law, also known as the Maryland Program Evaluation Act, is a legislative mechanism that automatically terminates state agencies or programs unless they are explicitly renewed, which helps ensure periodic review and accountability of government entities. The bill will take effect on June 1, 2025, and ensures the continued oversight and regulation of public accountancy professionals in Maryland by maintaining the board's legal standing for an additional five years.
