📢 New Path to CPA Approved!

The SDCPAS-backed legislation expanding CPA licensure pathways was signed into law by Governor Rhoden on March 2nd. House Bill 1035, which passed by unanimous vote in both chambers, introduces an additional pathway to licensure in South Dakota. We extend our appreciation to Representative Mike Weisgram for serving as the prime sponsor of this important legislation.

A third licensure pathway for CPA candidates in South Dakota will take effect July 1, 2026.
