This bill modifies the regulations governing certified appraisers in New Hampshire, specifically regarding their role as supervisors for apprentice real estate appraisers and the requirements for continuing education for relicensing or recertification. The bill stipulates that apprentice appraisers must work under the supervision of a certified appraiser who has been certified for at least two years and has not faced any disciplinary action in the three years prior to their supervisory approval. This change aims to ensure that apprentices receive guidance from experienced and reputable professionals.

Additionally, the bill limits the amount of continuing education that can be credited to applicants for relicensing or recertification. It specifies that participation in educational processes and programs approved by the board, other than as a student, can only account for up to half of an individual's continuing education requirements. This amendment is intended to maintain high standards in the education and training of real estate appraisers in New Hampshire. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
