Legislative Update
This week’s big news is that FICPA’s automatic tax extension is now included in both the House and Senate proposals. This makes the provision much more likely to be part of the final product.
The FICPA's two key legislative priorities - retired status and disaster-related tax extensions - continue to move forward in the Legislature, as we continue to advocate for CPA protection from bills that could impact your practice mobility.
The first 30 days of the 2024 Legislative Session have seen FICPA's legislative priorities gain momentum and mobility emerge as a key topic with 30 more days to go.
The FICPA Governmental Affairs Team this week was successful in advancing our retired-status bill through the Senate Governmental Oversight and Accountability and the House Regulatory Reform committees.
Several bills that are now moving forward could threaten CPA mobility. Our entire lobby team is fully engaged in educating legislators and staff and taking the necessary actions to protect the profession.
The FICPA would like to thank all its members who took time out of their busy schedules to travel to Tallahassee to participate in our CPA Day at the Captiol, a key event that will make a tremendous impact on our legislative priorities.
With Florida's 2024 Legislative Session underway, two FICPA priority bills have been filed in the House and Senate, as the Governmental Affairs team tracks nearly 300 pieces of legislation.
FICPA continues to review and analyze all bills as they are filed and is currently tracking 158, or 16 percent, of all bills filed as potentially impacting the profession.
With only a few weeks left before the start of the 2024 Regular Session, the Legislature is working quickly to prepare and vet numerous issues and file legislation that may be considered when they officially gavel-in in January.
