HI HB716

Clarifies that the Board of Public Accountancy may impose one or more disciplinary actions simultaneously against licensees for violations, rather than a single action.

Removes the two-year maximum time limit for license or permit suspensions and refusals to renew, allowing indefinite suspension periods.

Increases the maximum administrative fine from $1,000 to $5,000 per violation for violations of public accountancy law.

Revises license revocation language to remove references to specific statutory sections while maintaining the board's authority to revoke licenses.

Makes violations retroactive to protect any proceedings or penalties that began before the bill's effective date.
