HB 44-PRACTICE OF ACCOUNTING; LICENSURE 3:02:40 PM CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 44, "An Act relating to the practice of accounting." [Before the committee was CSHB 44(STA).] CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS invited final comments from the committee. 3:03:27 PM REPRESENTATIVE STORY stated her support for moving the bill out of committee. 3:04:03 PM REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN drew attention to an outstanding concern regarding the definition of "reports," which was discussed in a previous committee hearing. He offered his belief that the definition of the term is overly broad. He clarified that committee's intent is not to change the nature of the accounting practice by broadening the requirements pertaining to the issuance of reports, as they are no longer limited to financial statements. 3:05:30 PM REPRESENTATIVE CLAMAN offered his appreciation to the sponsor for bringing the bill forward so that standards are maintained for a profession that many consumers use. Additionally, he returned attention to the discussion on "may" versus "shall," opining that the use of either would not prevent [accountants] from doing an effective job. In response to Representative Eastman, he stated his belief that the committee's discussion reflected that the definition of "report" is consistent with the scope of reports that accountants traditionally provide in their practice. He added that the current language in the bill reflects his intent. CHAIR KREISS-TOMKINS noted that the fiscal note is $5,300, all of which is covered by the licensing fees from the [Board of Public Accountancy]. 3:07:48 PM REPRESENTATIVE CLAMAN moved to report CSHB 44, Version 32- LS0302\B, Fisher, 3/8/21, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. Without objection, CSHB 44(STA) was moved from the House State Affairs Standing Committee.
