Licensure of certified public accountants.

The document format was updated from an 'Enrolled House Bill' to a standard 'House Bill' with a digest, reflecting its current legislative status rather than a final enacted law.

Administrative headers, including the General Assembly session title and printing code instructions, were reformatted to match standard bill presentation styles.

Signatures and dates for the Speaker, Senate President, and Governor were removed, as these are added only after a bill is passed and signed into law.

A committee report section was added, documenting that the bill was referred to the Committee on Employment, Labor and Pensions and reported back with a recommendation to pass.

Line numbers and page headers were added to the text sections to facilitate legislative tracking and reference.

The document status changed from an 'Introduced House Bill' to an 'Enrolled House Act,' signifying the bill has been approved by both chambers and the Governor and is now official law.

New specific pathways were added for meeting initial licensure requirements, allowing candidates to qualify via a standard accounting degree, a 150-hour accounting degree, or a post-baccalaureate accounting degree.

A new requirement was introduced for first-time exam candidates to have either a baccalaureate degree with an accounting concentration or at least 120 semester hours of college education including an accounting concentration.

Formatting and header information were updated to reflect the bill's final status, including the addition of signatures from the Governor and legislative officers.
