Summary
The Council unanimously approved an amendment in the nature of a substitute to the Accountancy Practice Amendment Act that preserves accounting licensure provisions and adds administrative, business licensing updates and a towing‑company provision; the bill as amended passed on first reading.
Councilmember Nadeau moved an amendment in the nature of a substitute to the Accountancy Practice Amendment Act; the amendment incorporated technical administrative updates recommended by the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection and added a provision addressing tow‑company impound identifications.

The Council recorded the vote and moved on; the amendment was carried unanimously and the engrossed language will be published before the next reading.
