Bill > HB45

This bill modifies the requirements for becoming a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in Kentucky by allowing for alternative educational paths, such as a post-baccalaureate degree or a bachelor's degree plus additional credit hours, in addition to the existing bachelor's degree requirement, and adjusts the required years of accounting or attest experience based on the chosen educational path. It also expands the practice privileges for CPAs licensed in other states, allowing individuals who do not have an office in Kentucky and hold a valid license in good standing from another state to practice in Kentucky under certain conditions, including meeting specific educational and experience requirements and agreeing to the jurisdiction of the Kentucky Board of Accountancy. Additionally, the bill makes conforming amendments to existing statutes regarding reciprocity for out-of-state CPAs and repeals a section related to proof of educational requirements for previously approved candidates.
