Bill > HB2573

This bill amends Kansas statutes concerning the Kansas Board of Accountancy and the requirements for Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). Key changes include modifying the educational requirements for CPA licensure, such as requiring a baccalaureate degree with an accounting concentration and additional semester hours, and adjusting the experience requirements to one or two years depending on the educational path. The bill also updates provisions related to out-of-state CPAs practicing in Kansas, clarifying that those with active licenses in good standing from other states will be presumed to meet Kansas's requirements and can practice without obtaining a separate Kansas permit, provided they met specific educational and examination standards at the time of their initial licensure. Additionally, the bill revises definitions, including the definition of "principal place of business," and makes conforming amendments to various sections of the law, ultimately repealing the existing sections that are being amended.
