Bill > HB2465

This bill makes changes to licensing requirements in Arizona, specifically by removing the requirement for individuals applying for a certified public accountant (CPA) certificate to meet the provisions of a now-repealed section of law (Section 41-1080) and instead focusing on other qualifications like age, disciplinary history, and specific educational and experience requirements. Furthermore, the bill introduces a new Section 41-1080 that prohibits any state or local agency from requiring an applicant for a license to provide proof of their citizenship or alien status, and mandates that if a social security number is required for a license application, the agency must also accept a federal tax identification number in its place. The bill defines "agency" broadly to include any state or local entity that issues licenses to operate a business or provide services, and "license" as any permit, certificate, or similar authorization required by law to conduct business or provide services.
