Tennessee State Board of Accountancy
Proposed Rule Notify
Pursuant to T.C.A. § 4-3-1306(d), you are receiving this notice because you have elected to receive notification by e-mail of certain changes or potential changes to the law applicable to your profession.
On May 5, 2017, the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy considered new rules affecting the Peer Review Program. These changes would amend the Tennessee Accountancy Rules and Regulations as follows:
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0020-06-.07 was drafted in response to a request from the Tennessee State Board of Accountancy (“Board”) to promulgate requirements for peer review submission procedures mandated by Tennessee Code Annotated § 62-1-201, et seq. 2016 Public Chapter 595. Changes to Chapter 0020-06: Peer Review Program include adding a requirement that licensees and approved peer review programs grant the Board access to online peer review portals/databases upon which peer review documents are uploaded. The changes also include adding a deadline in which to produce or make available certain peer review documents for the Board’s review.
A copy of the rule filing is available for review on the website of the Secretary of State at http://publications.tnsosfiles.com/rules_filings/02-24-18.pdf
This rule is currently pending with the Secretary of State and will become effective May 24, 2018, unless within ninety (90) days after the proposed rule was filed with the Secretary of State, a petition for a public hearing on the proposed rule is filed by ten (10) persons who will be affected by the rule, an association of ten (10) or more members, a municipality or by a majority vote of any standing committee of the general assembly.
If you have any questions or concerns about this new rule, please contact Elizabeth Goldstein at Elizabeth.Goldstein@tn.gov or 615-741-3072.
