AN ACT relating to the licensure of certified public accountants.
signed by Governor (Acts Ch. 21)
Summary
The bill revises the qualifications needed for a Kentucky CPA license, adding specific age, character, education, exam, experience, and citizenship requirements. It also creates a pathway for CPAs licensed in other states with equivalent standards to offer services in Kentucky without obtaining a separate Kentucky license, as long as they follow reporting and disciplinary rules. The changes aim to clarify who can become a CPA in Kentucky and to allow qualified out‑of‑state accountants to work in the state while protecting consumers.
