Mobility Movement in D.C.CPA practice mobility legislation (B 616) was introduced in the District of Columbia on January 7, 2010. This legislation would allow CPAs who live outside of Washington, D.C., to practice in the District without obtaining a reciprocal license, as the current law requires. As of right now, 45 states have passed mobility, and legislative activity is anticipated in 2010 for nearly all of the remaining states and territories. While this legislation would be beneficial to CPAs with clients in the District, it could also result in significant revenue loss for D.C. — which could mean potential opposition to this bill. The Greater Washington Society of CPAs (GWSCPA) has reported its commitment to working with the D.C. Board of Accountancy and other stakeholders to explore solutions that could mitigate this potential loss and move this legislation forward. With a high volume of members practicing in Washington, D.C., the Virginia Society of CPAs (VSCPA) is also closely monitoring the bill’s progress. In August 2008, the VSCPA sent a letter to the D.C. Board of Accountancy, requesting the addition of practice mobility provisions to the laws and regulations governing CPAs in D.C. Stay tuned to www.vscpa.com for updates on this issue.
