Notice of Effective Date for New Rules for
Tennessee State Board of Accountancy
Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 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.
The Tennessee State Board of Accountancy approved proposed rules at their regularly scheduled meeting conducted on July 24, 2018. These rules were filed with the Secretary of State on June 6, 2019 and will become effective on September 4, 2019. These rules have been filed as Proposed Rules and will be promulgated without a hearing ninety (90) days from the filing date unless a petition is received by at least ten (10) persons who will be affected by the rule.
The proposed rule changes a definition for “technical fields of study” and “non-technical fields of study,” changes the specific list of qualifying subject matters into “technical fields of study” as consistent with the change to the Definitions section, and changes the licensee’s responsibility for record-keeping of CPE certificates. This rule also provides a means to measure CPE credits. Furthermore, the rule clarifies the sources of qualifying learning activities that must meet the Statements on Standards for Continuing Education Programs which has been jointly approved by NASBA and AICPA. Lastly, the rule change utilizes the new addition of the definition for “technical fields of study” in place of the specifically listed subjects and adds a definition for “nano-learning.”
