Panel approves bill clarifying appraiser continuing-education and repealing outdated deadlines
Summary
House Bill 288 would align appraiser continuing education with national standards and repeal an obsolete 90-day waiting rule for re-testing; the committee reported the bill favorably.
Representative Boyd presented House Bill 288, which the House Committee on Commerce moved favorably on April 22. The bill clarifies that real estate appraisers must complete continuing education consistent with national standards, removes an administrative 90-day waiting period for failed examinations and repeals a sunset on certain fees.
Summer Muir, executive director of the Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board, told the committee the board already follows the national standards in practice; the bill would remove statutory barriers and simplify administration. Representative Boyd said the change is intended to reduce barriers and align state requirements with industry practice.
Representative Cox moved the bill favorably; the committee carried the motion without a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript.
