Is anyone familiar with the NYS CPE requirements after you pass the exam? I became Licensed on 06/02/10. Do you still need to complete 40hrs of CPE during the remaining 2010 period?

I think I may have answered my own question, and I do NOT need to worry about CPE to maintain my license until 2011. Per the NYS website here:
nhttps://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/cpa/cpace.htm

It reads

n

All NYS CPAs become subject to the CPE requirements on the first January 1 in their second registration period. Once subject to the requirement, during the January 1 – December 31 year, the licensee must complete either:

n

a minimum of 40 contact hours of acceptable formal continuing education in any of the recognized subject areas, or
na minimum of 24 contact hours of acceptable formal continuing education concentrated in one subject area.n

You're in your first triennial period, so you don't need to do anything:

n

All licensed CPAs and PAs engaged in the practice of public accountancy in New York State are required to meet continuing education requirements. The mandatory CPE requirements become effective in a licensee's second registration period. CPE is not required during a licensee's initial triennial registration period.

n

In each January 1 – December 31 CPE reporting year (except during the licensee's initial triennial registration period)n

I really can't pass again!
