	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 306, as introduced, De León. Accountancy.
   Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of
accountants by the California Board of Accountancy in the Department
of Consumer Affairs. Existing law prohibits a person from engaging in
the practice of public accountancy in this state unless he or she
holds either a valid permit issued by the board or a practice
privilege, as specified. A violation of this provision is a crime.
Existing law requires the board to amend a specified regulation to
extend from December 31, 2007, to December 31, 2010, a safe harbor
pertaining to practicing accountancy without a practice privilege for
up to 5 days prior to submitting a notification form to the board,
as specified.
   This bill would require the board to amend the specified
regulation to extend that safe harbor period from December 31, 2010,
to December to December 31, 2013.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
