DAR File No.: 33158
Filed: 11/18/2009 08:50:46 AM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

These amendments update the definitions: 1) to comply with the statutory provision allowing 12 months to reinstate an expired license; 2) to comply with the Appraiser Qualification Board requirement that a trainee be supervised by a certified appraiser; 3) to complete the transition from evaluating experience points to evaluating experience hours; and 4) to correct other nonsubstantive language.

Summary of the rule or change:

The address for the Appraiser Qualification Board is removed. The reinstatement period is changed from 6 months to 12 months. The trainee definition is corrected to state that a trainee must be supervised by a certified appraiser and amended to state that trainees earn experience hours, not experience points.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

  • Sections 61-2b-20 through 61-2b-31

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

None of the proposed changes requires the state to implement or oversee a new program or procedure. No costs are anticipated.

local governments:

Local governments are not involved in the licensing of appraisers or trainees. These rule amendments do not affect local governments.

small businesses:

These rule amendments do not impose any new fees or costs on small businesses.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

These rule amendments do not impose any new fees or costs on affected persons.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

Affected persons will have 12 months rather than 6 months to reinstate an expired license. There are no costs associated with extending the reinstatement period. Affected appraiser trainees will document their experience in terms of hours rather than documenting both hours and points. There are no costs associated with this transition. It might save the trainees some time by simplifying their record-keeping requirements.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

As stated in the rule summary, no fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated from this filing, which conforms the rule to recent statutory amendments and Appraiser Qualification Board requirements and makes other technical changes.
