Summary

Amends the Illinois Public Accounting Act. Allows a certified public accountant (CPA) firm whose principal place of business is not in this State to have all the privileges of a CPA firm licensed under the Act without the need to obtain a license from the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation or to file notice with the Department if the CPA firm complies with specified substantial equivalency requirements; makes conforming changes. Provides that firms that do not meet the certain requirements but offer or render services in the State must hold a license issued under the Act. Provides that every application for renewal of a license by a licensed CPA who has been licensed under the Act for 3 years of more shall be accompanied or supported by evidence showing the completion of professional education as prescribed by Department rule (rather than showing the completion of 120 hours of continuing professional education each 3 years as prescribed by Department rule) and makes related changes. Effective immediately.

Plain-language change summary

The amendments to SB 899 update the Illinois Public Accounting Act by allowing CPA firms from outside the state to operate in Illinois without needing a local license, as long as they meet specific equivalency criteria. This change is significant because it simplifies the process for these out-of-state firms to provide accounting services, promoting greater competition. Additionally, the bill modifies renewal requirements for local CPAs, now requiring proof of professional education instead of a set number of continuing education hours. This shift aims to ensure that licensed CPAs maintain relevant knowledge while also streamlining the renewal process.

Frequently asked questions

What does SB 899 do?
Amends the Illinois Public Accounting Act. Allows a certified public accountant (CPA) firm whose principal place of business is not in this State to have all the privileges of a CPA firm licensed under the Act without the need to obtain a license from the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation or to file notice with the Department if the CPA firm complies with specified substantial equivalency requirements; makes conforming changes. Provides that firms that do not meet the certain requirements but offer or render services in the State must hold a license issued under the Act. Provides that every application for renewal of a license by a licensed CPA who has been licensed under the Act for 3 years of more shall be accompanied or supported by evidence showing the completion of professional education as prescribed by Department rule (rather than showing the completion of 120 hours of continuing professional education each 3 years as prescribed by Department rule) and makes related changes.
