RE: LSA Document #15-384 - Amends 872 IAC 1-3-3 to provide licensees with additional means to meet the ethics educational requirement for license renewal.

On behalf of the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency and the Indiana Board of Accountancy, I am submitting this notice to the Publisher of the Indiana Register and Indiana Administrative Code in compliance with IC 4-22-2-25, which requires that a notice be sent to the Publisher if a rule will not be approved or deemed approved by the Governor within one year of publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule. This notice is submitted to the Publisher before the two hundred fiftieth day following the publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

The Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule was published in the Indiana Register on November 18, 2015 (DIN: 20151118-IR-872150384NIA).

Due to possible quorum issues, the Board and Agency may not be able to complete the rulemaking process by November 18, 2016. The Board and Agency hope to have a final rule adopted November 18, 2016. Approval or deemed approval by the Governor is expected not later than February 1, 2017.

This notice is being submitted in a timely manner. June 7, 2016, is the two hundred third day after publication of the Notice of Intent to Adopt a Rule.

Rae Harman, Board Director
