prior to the passage of this act; also to any person who shall have been actively in practice as a public accountant for not less than five years next prior to the passage of this act, outside the State of Illinois, who shall have passed an examination equivalent, in the opinion of the University of Illinois to the examination to be held under the provisions of this act." This section provides for a waiver of examination for two different classes of applicants. The first embraces those who shall have had five years' previous experience as public accountants previous to the date of application, and who shall apply in writing- within one year after the passage of the act, and who shall have been practicing in this State as a public accountant, on his own account, for a period of not less than one year prior to the passage of the act. This class embraces only those applicants who have been practicing in this State as public accountants for a period of not less than one year prior to the passage of the act. Such applicants must apply in writing within one year after the passage of the act in order to secure the privilege of a waiver of examination. The second class refers to those persons who have been actively in practice as public accountants for not less than five years prior to the passage of the act outside the State of Illinois. The provision applicable to the first class above mentioned, that they must make their application within one yea • after the passage of the act, does not apply to applicants coming under the second class. No such condition is prescribed for applicants embraced in the second class. It is therefore my opinion that applicants who have been actively in practice as public accountants for not less than five years next prior to the passage of the act, outside of the State of Illinois, and who shall have,passed an examination equivalent, in the opinion of the University of Illinois, to the examination to be held under the provisions of said act, are not limited in making their applications to within one year after the passage of said act, but may make their applications at any time. Yours truly,
