SB 1159 California Senate · 2017-2018 Regular Session

Accountancy: inactive license.

Summary

Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of the practice of accountancy by the California Board of Accountancy, which is within the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law requires the holder of an inactive license, when using the title "certified public accountant" or any other reference that would suggest that the person is licensed by the board, as specified, to place the term "inactive" immediately after that designation. This bill would exempt the holder of an inactive license who is a current member of the California State Legislature or of the United States Congress and who is not engaged in the practice of public accountancy from that requirement.
