HB 404 w/ HA 2

6/13/22

Minor-Brown

This amendment clarifies that a pre-application determination that a criminal history would not prevent an individual from receiving a license is binding on the licensing board at the time of application so long as there is no other substantial change in circumstances, such as an intervening new conviction. If the Division or licensing board determines in the pre-application proceedings that an individual might not be eligible for a license because of their criminal history, the person is still entitled to a full hearing on the matter at the time of application, in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act. This amendment allows the Board of Accountancy to consider convictions for financial crimes regardless of the time that has passed since conviction. This is in line with the requirements for the interstate compact relating to accountancy licensure.
