Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SB 428 clarify the renewal process for Virginia CPA licenses. The bill now states that if a license is not renewed by the end of the 12-month period, it will be considered expired, which means the holder can no longer operate as a CPA in Virginia. Additionally, if a prior suspension occurred, the language was refined to specify how and when the suspension can be lifted. These adjustments ensure a clearer understanding of licensure status and responsibilities for CPA holders, which is important for maintaining professional standards in the industry.
