DBPR’s Reactivation Process

Legislation from 2008 includes provisions allowing inactive CPAs to reactivate their Florida CPA license by limiting the required CPE to 120 hours, with a minimum of 8 hours of Board-approved ethics, and no more than 30 behavioral hours if the license was inactive on June 30, 2009. CPAs must notify the Board of Accountancy of their intent to reactive by Dec. 31, 2009. Reactivation must be complete by June 30, 2011.
