California law currently does not meet the national standard for CPA licensure and California CPAs are at risk of losing the ability to serve their clients’ interests outside of California. However, the solution is simple: California must adopt the 150-hour educational pathway as its only pathway to licensure. Currently, more than two-thirds of new California licensees choose the 150-hour pathway—what’s more, that percentage has grown every year since the option was introduced in 2002.
New legislation will be introduced in January to help move this effort along. We need you as constituents to meet with your legislators on Jan. 21 and urge their support.
All existing CPAs and those licensed before 2012 would be grandfathered in.
Help communicate this to your legislators in Sacramento.
