Summary

The Senate Insurance and Financial Institutions Committee unanimously approved a technical change to State Board of Accounts appointments (HB 12-67) that adjusts professional requirements for deputy examiners and updates auditing terminology.

The Senate Insurance and Financial Institutions Committee voted 6–0 to move House Bill 12-67, a narrow technical amendment to State Board of Accounts appointments.

Representative Layman told the committee the change reduces the requirement that both governor-appointed deputy examiners be certified public accountants: under the bill, one must be a CPA while the other may be a CPA or a licensed Indiana attorney. He also said the bill replaces the term “accounting standards” with “auditing standards” to reflect the SBOA’s work.

The committee took the measure by motion, the clerk called the roll and the chair announced a 6–0 vote with several members excused. No outside testimony was offered, and the bill was reported favorably to the floor.

Action recorded: the committee’s clerk announced that HB 12-67 would move forward to the floor with the committee’s approval.
