relative to the issuance of certificates as a certified public accountant.
Signed by Governor Ayotte 04/22/2026; Chapter 34; eff. 04/22/2026
Summary
The bill revises New Hampshire’s CPA licensing standards, changing education, exam and experience requirements, and adds a mobility provision that permits CPAs licensed in other states or territories to offer services in New Hampshire without filing paperwork or paying fees, as long as they meet the state’s criteria. It also creates a pathway for holders of comparable foreign accountancy designations to receive a New Hampshire certificate. The changes affect current and future CPA applicants, out‑of‑state practitioners, and firms that employ them.
