MN SF3251

Amends Minnesota Statutes section 326A.09 to allow reinstatement of suspended, revoked, expired, or surrendered CPA certificates upon petition, with the board retaining discretion to require up to 120 hours of continuing professional education credits.

Adds clarification that suspended certificates, registrations, permits, or practice privileges cannot be reinstated until the former holder has completed one-half of the suspension period.

Repeals Minnesota Statutes section 326A.04, subdivision 11, which previously allowed automatic revocation of CPA certificates for those who failed to renew for more than two years after expiration or failed to report required experience.

Eliminates the automatic revocation procedures that previously did not require the board to follow chapter 14 procedural requirements, instead requiring only mail notice at least three days prior to revocation.

Both provisions become effective the day following final enactment.
