This bill amends the Real Estate Appraisers Certification Act, specifically focusing on the composition of the State Board of Certified Real Estate Appraisers. The amendment modifies Section 4(a)(4) by removing the requirement that board members must be citizens of the United States. Instead, it maintains that all ten members must have been residents of Pennsylvania for at least two years prior to their appointment. The board will continue to consist of six State-certified real estate appraisers, two certified Pennsylvania evaluators, and two public members, with provisions allowing for a professional member to hold dual roles as both a certified evaluator and a real estate appraiser, provided their appointment specifies the capacity.
The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its enactment, streamlining the qualifications for board membership while ensuring that the board remains composed of qualified individuals with relevant experience in real estate appraisal and evaluation.
