An Act further regulating the continuing education requirements for certain real estate appraisers and trainees.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, a licensed or certified real estate appraiser or a real estate appraisal trainee who timely completed, in accordance with the requirements of the Appraisal Qualifications Board of the Appraisal Foundation, the 7 hour national Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice update course before the effective date of this act and was the subject of disciplinary proceedings by the board of real estate appraisers prior to May 26, 2011 for failure to complete the continuing education requirements of section 184 of chapter 112 of the General Laws shall have that disciplinary action rescinded and permanently removed from the appraiser or appraisal trainee’s record. This act shall not be construed to establish a cause of action by a real estate appraiser or trainee against the board of real estate appraisers or the division of professional licensure related to any such disciplinary action. This act shall not be construed to require the board of real estate appraisers or the division of professional licensure to provide financial compensation to a licensed or certified real estate appraiser or real estate appraisal trainee for any final decision issued by the board or the division before the effective date of this act.
