Notably, significant changes to the attestation requirements are highlighted, eliminating the need for CPA attestation for entities with fewer than 100 employees creating 25 or more FTEs. Additionally, it discusses the redesignation language concerning the addition of localities under specific circumstances due to job loss and revenue-sharing areas.
