Senate committee clears several licensure and professional-practice bills on unanimous consent
Summary
On largely uncontested items, the committee moved House Bill 48 and House Bill 45 forward on consent; HB 48 passed 11-0 and HB 45 (CPA licensure modernization) passed 11-0 after sponsor presentations and brief questions.
The committee advanced several additional, noncontroversial bills on unanimous consent.
Representative Amy Neighbors presented House Bill 48, noting it was the same bill filed last session and had passed the House and a prior Senate committee before time ran out; the committee passed HB 48 by an 11-0 vote and placed it on consent.
A presenter (unnamed in the transcript) described House Bill 45 as a licensure modernization bill to update CPA licensing requirements and support interstate practice and remote work without reducing public protection; the state board indicated support. The committee voted 11-0 to pass HB 45 and placed it on consent.
Both bills now advance to the next legislative stage.
