HB 400 changes the exam subjects required for Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certification in Tennessee. It replaces "business law and taxation" with "taxation and regulation" in the certification requirements under Tennessee law. This directly affects individuals seeking CPA certification in the state by altering the content they must study for the exam. The bill amends specific sections of Tennessee Code (Title 62, Chapter 1) to update the examination subjects, with no other substantive changes to the certification process. The bill is currently pending in the Commerce Committee.
