This bill amends the Real Estate Appraisers Certification Act by modifying the composition requirements for the State Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers. Specifically, it removes the requirement that board members must be citizens of the United States, while maintaining that all members must have been residents of Pennsylvania for at least two years prior to their appointment. The board will continue to consist of ten members, including six State-certified real estate appraisers, two certified Pennsylvania evaluators, and two public members. The bill also clarifies that a professional member can be both a certified Pennsylvania evaluator and a State-certified real estate appraiser, but their appointment must specify the capacity in which they are serving.

The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage. This legislative change aims to streamline the qualifications for board membership while ensuring that the board remains composed of qualified individuals with relevant experience in real estate appraisal and evaluation.
